Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic switching in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is key to the formation and progression of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a damage-associated molecule, significantly influences the progression of various diseases. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death process that is controlled by extensive membrane damage induced by lipid peroxidation. However, few studies...
