Abstract:Aneurysms are localized dilations of blood vessels, which can expand to 50% of the original diameter. They are more common in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels. Rupture is one of the most dangerous complications. The pathophysiology of aneurysms is complex and diverse, often associated with progressive vessel wall dysfunction resulting from vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) death and abnormal extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation. Multiple studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA… Show more
