Arterial stiffening is a hallmark of early vascular aging (EVA) syndrome and an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this case-control study we sought to identify plasma metabolites associated with EVA syndrome in the setting of hypertension. An untargeted metabolom...
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of the ethyl acetate extract of Gastrodia elata (EEGE) on vascular dementia (VD) and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A VD rat model was established using the two-vessel occlusion method, while an in vitro cerebral ...
Background: Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) are degradation products of plastics that are prevalent in the environment. Recent studies have established a significant correlation between exposure to PS-MPs and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Objective: This study aims to investi...
Pericyte loss is an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), yet the molecular mechanisms underlying pericyte dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we generated a retinal cellular overview comprising 18,926 cells from...
