Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Endothelial cell (EC) senescence is intimately linked to the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The FGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2) signaling is crucial in regulating the phenotype of ECs. Recent studies have revealed that cell phenotype-specific alternative splicing of FGFR2 premRNA (precursor mRNA) results in the mutually exclusive inclusion of either exon IIIb or IIIc,...
