Senescence and Extracellular Vesicles: Novel Partners in Vascular Amyloidosis
A new editorial paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 15, Issue 5, entitled, “Senescence and extracellular vesicles: novel partners in vascular amyloidosis.” In their editorial, researchers Meredith Whitehead, Marco Antonazzi and Catherine M. Shanahan from King’s College London discussed amyloidosis—a prevalent age-associated pathology caused by the accumulation of fibrous, insoluble protein fibrils in tissues. The most common human amyloid is aortic medial amyloid (AMA), caused by aggregation of a 50-amino acid peptide called medin, which is cleaved by an unknown mechanism from its…
