Endothelial Proteotoxic Stress Drives Inhaled Benzene-Induced Vascular Inflammation in Mice.
Benzene exposure is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the mechanisms linking benzene to vascular injury remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the effects of benzene and its reactive metabolite trans,trans-muconaldehyde (MA) on endothelial activation and leukocyte recruitme...
