Cerebral Microvascular Density, Permeability of the Blood-Brain Barrier, and Neuroinflammatory Responses Indicate Early Aging Characteristics in a Marfan Syndrome Mouse Model
2024-07-02
Abstract excerpt
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder due to mutations in fibrillin-1 ( Fbn1 ), where a Fbn1 missense mutation ( Fbn1 C1039G/+ ) can result in systemic increases in the bioavailability and signaling of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). In a well-established mouse model of MFS ( Fbn1 C1041G/+ ), pre-mature aging of the aortic wall and the progression of aortic root aneurysm are observed by...
