Abstract:Thoracic aortic aneurysms are a life-threatening condition often diagnosed too late. The underlying mechanism is largely unknown. An accurate and early predictive biomarker for aneurysm formation has not yet been identified, although some molecular processes, such as disturbed TGF-β signalling, have been implicated. To discover novel robust biomarkers, we aimed to better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in aneurysm initiation and progression.
