Vascular senescence and aging: mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic prospects

Abstract excerpt

The aging vasculature is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, and increased susceptibility to vascular pathologies. Central to these changes is the process of cellular senescence, where endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells lose their replicative and functional capacity and adopt a pro-inflammatory secretory phenotype. This review provides an overview of the key mechanisms...
