Smooth Muscle Cell MAPK14 Promotes Vascular Calcification During Hyperlipidemic Aging

Vascular calcification is a hallmark of vascular aging that is accelerated by hyperlipidemia and contributes to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Although vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key mediators of vascular calcification, the signaling pathways linking aging-associated stress to osteogenic remodeling rema...
