hTERT associates with Rab7A to enhance autophagy and rescue oxLDL induced endothelial dysfunction
Introduction Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of atherosclerosis, driven by chronic exposure to oxidized LDL and linked to impaired autophagy. Although restoring autophagy in atherosclerosis has been shown to yield protective effects, the mechanisms contributing to dysregulated autophagy are unknown. Apart from pr...
