The discovery that RIPK1 deficiency sensitizes the liver to acute injury and hepatocyte apoptosis is based on convincing evidence, highlighting the importance of RIPK1 in maintaining liver homeostasis ...

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a major health concern worldwide and requires effective preventive measures. Lp(a) (lipoprotein [a]) has recently garnered attention as an independent risk ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine is a leader in diagnosing, researching, and treating vascular anomalies. Our team of specialists treat patients of all ages, from newborns to adults. Vascular anomalies describe ...

Therefore, we aimed to directly reprogram human dermal fibroblasts toward contractile SMCs (rSMCs) and investigated their role for generating vascular mural cells in vivo and their therapeutic effects ...

Even without a history of ROP treatment, premature birth is associated with multiple changes to the macular structure and vascularity that persist into adulthood. These include a smaller, more ...
