Telomere Biology and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Ascending aortic aneurysms are mostly asymptomatic and present a great risk of aortic dissection or perforation. Consequently, ascending aortic aneurysms are a source of lethality with increased age. Biological aging results in progressive attrition of telomeres, which are the repetitive DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes.

Thyroid lesions of neuroendocrine origin? Thinking of a “polka‐dotted” zebra! Case series from three Italian referral centers and review of the literature

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Thyroid metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) should be considered in case of suspicious thyroid nodules in patients with a positive medical history of NEN, mainly of thoracic origin, even after many years from the initial diagnosis. The differential diagnosis from primary intrathyroidal NEN is challenging.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.
