Abstract excerpt
Marfan syndrome (Mfs) arises from mutations in FBN1, predisposing individuals to thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) through abnormal smooth muscle cell behaviour. The role of HSPB7 in Mfs-related TAA remains poorly understood. By integrating multi-omics analysis with hiPSC-derived VSMCs from patients with Mfs, we elucidated the molecular landscape of Mfs-associated TAA. Analysis revealed immune cell infiltration, a...
