NUAK1 regulates contraction in vascular smooth muscle cells derived from abdominal aortic aneurysm patients
2024-12-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Aim</h4> Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are defined as a dilatation of the aortic wall. Impaired contractile ability of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) is a hallmark of AAA. This study investigates the underlying mechanism of altered in vitro contractility of vSMC derived from AAA patients (AAA-SMC) compared to control vSMC (C-SMC). <h4>Methods</h4> Contractility of AAA-SMC (n=24) and C-SMC (n=8) was...
