Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness.
Biological aging occurs as a result of the interaction between genetics, chronological age and external factors. It is the basis for new concepts of vascular aging, whose progression is determined by the difference between biological and chronological age.

Differential effects of EPA vs. DHA on postprandial vascular function and the plasma oxylipin profile in men [PDF]
Our objective was to investigate the impact of EPA versus DHA, on arterial stiffness and reactivity, and underlying mechanisms (with a focus on plasma oxylipins), in the postprandial state.

A decreased level of serum soluble Klotho is an independent biomarker associated with arterial stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Klotho was originally identified in a mutant mouse strain unable to express the gene that consequently showed shortened life spans. In humans, low serum Klotho levels are related to the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in community ...

Is porto sinusoidal vascular disease to be actively searched in patients with portal vein thrombosis? [PDF]
Porto sinusoidal vascular liver disease (PSVD) and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are distinct vascular liver diseases characterized, respectively, by an intrahepatic and a prehepatic obstacle to the flow in the liver portal system. PVT may also occur as a

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AS A RISK FACTOR FOR CEREBRAL VASCULAR LESIONS
Increased arterial stiffness, a biomarker of vascular aging, is a recognized subclinical organ damage, and may thus serve as predictor of cardiovascular disease.

Sox9 Accelerates Vascular Aging by Regulating Extracellular Matrix Composition and Stiffness
BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness are hallmarks of vascular aging. Sox9 (SRY-box transcription factor 9) has been implicated in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) osteo/chondrogenic conversion; however,

Arterial stiffness in health and disease: The role of cardio-ankle vascular index.
Arterial stiffness increases with age, as well as in various pathological states, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and dyslipidemia, and it has important consequences for cardiovascular health.

Arterial Stiffness – A Measurable Vascular Marker in Clinical Practice
Arterial stiffness results from the changes in the walls of the large vessels and aorta. It has been incriminated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders. Its association with the major risk factors and atherosclerosis has been explored. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is generally measured to evaluate it.
