Age-Related Decline in NCKX4-Mediated Calcium Clearance Accelerates Aortic Remodeling and Drives Early Vascular Aging
2025-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Aging is the primary nonmodifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with older women facing a greater risk of CVDs than age-matched men. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) dysfunction and impaired calcium (Ca 2+ ) handling are recognized as central contributors to arterial stiffening and calcification. However, the molecular and functional determinants of Ca 2+ clearance in vascular aging remain...
