MMP-2-Targeted Nanofibers as a Potential Diagnostic and Therapeutic Delivery Vehicle for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the most common aortic pathology, and accounts for ~10,000 deaths/year in the United States. While many preclinical therapeutics have shown promise, … Read More
Uncovering metabolic drivers of aging and geroprotection Metabolic dysregulation is a defining characteristic of aging. Nevertheless, transcriptomics atlases of aging tissues such as the Tabula Muris Senis and the C. elegans Aging Atlas, and histochemical and biochemical studies have shown … Read More
Sex specific effects of endothelial Pannexin1 in cerebral vascular function and ischemic stroke Our work examines the mechanisms regulating cerebral artery function in health and disease. We examine the role of endothelial Pannexin1, a critical regulator of purinergic signaling, in … Read More
