Intrinsic Mechanics of Human Stem Cell Derived Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells Support a Developmental Basis for Aneurysm Localization in Marfan Syndrome
2023-10-04
Abstract excerpt
Marfan Syndrome (MFS), a connective tissue disorder caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene, occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide. As an important constituent of the extracellular matrix, mutated fibrillin-1 in Marfan Syndrome leads to aortic medial degeneration, aneurysm, and dissection. TGFβ in the matrix, which is controlled by fibrillin-1, is known to cause pathological effects in smooth mu...
