Researchers discover verteporfin reduces atherosclerosis in HGPS mice by targeting YAP/TAZ pathway activation in endothelial cells.
Researchers have pinpointed the YAP/TAZ pathway's activation in endothelial cells as a key factor in developing atherosclerosis in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a rare genetic disorder leading to early cardiovascular disease.
Using verteporfin, a drug for age-related macular degeneration, they observed significant reductions in atherosclerosis in HGPS mice.
This discovery may pave the way for new treatments for HGPS and other age-related cardiovascular conditions, though further research is necessary.
