Skeleton-secreted PDGF-BB mediates arterial stiffening - PubMed

Evidence links osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease but the cellular and molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here we identify skeleton-secreted platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) as a key...

Check out the latest paper from the Santhanam Lab: nature.com/articles/s41420-0… Tissue #transglutaminase, best known as "meat glue" and its role in celiac disease, is an important target in organ #fibrosis and vascular #aging.

Recent studies have clearly illustrated that both vascular smooth muscle cells #VSMC and extracellular matrix #ECM are responsible for the mechanical decline of the arteries during #aging - but are they independent?

Using #CRISPR -Cas9 gene editing, we created a new mouse model - the #Tgm2-C277S mouse, in which ECM remodeling and VSMC aging are uncoupled! In this model, we show VSMC aging emerges independent of ECM remodeling. @JSteppan @JHACCMResearch @HopkinsACCM

Addressing the limitation of inability to detect LOX catalytic function associated with diverse disease processes, Wang et al. developed an in situ activity assay by utilizing the reactivity of hydrazides with imines and carbonyls. @LabSanthanam nature.com/articles/s42003-0…
