HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Brittany Balint from the Federico II University, Italy have published the article: Age-dependent phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells in the normal ascending aorta, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors aimed to elucidate the effect of biological aging itself on SMC phenotypes in the ascending aortic wall.
- how: The authors investigated SMC phenotypes in the normal aorta as previous studies have shown that SMCs within the aneurysmal ascending aorta demonstrate a switch from the contractile to the synthetic state .
