This study identifies sex-specific mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells of diabetic PAD patients, showing that MitoQ improves vascular function in females.

This study identifies a novel fibroblast subcluster, Fibro-Cthrc1, as a driver of aortic fibrosis in hypertension using scRNA-seq and validates its association with blood pressure in humans.

This study uses single-cell multiomic analysis to identify transcriptional circuits driving non-ischemic cardiac fibrosis in mouse and human hearts, showing reversibility of fibrosis-related changes.

This study shows that miR-181a deficiency in mice leads to elevated blood pressure and salt sensitivity through increased renin expression and widespread renal gene dysregulation.
