About this Research Topic
The purpose of this research topic is to explore the relationship between cellular stress response and cardiovascular aging related diseases (such as arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, vascular calcification, heart failure, etc.) and the potential interferences by identifying the cellular stress corrective strategies to relieve cardiovascular aging.
The subtopics include but are not limited to the following:
• The potential role of heat shock response on cardiovascular aging related diseases;
• The effects of persistent genomic and/or mitochondrial DNA damage on cardiovascular aging related diseases;
• Underlying mechanisms of inducing unfolded protein responses (UPR) on endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER) or mitochondrial (UPRmt) during the occurrence and development of cardiovascular aging related diseases;
• The mechanism of stress caused by heme deprivation on cardiovascular aging related diseases, and the interventions to reverse the stress response;
• The possible mechanism that promotes integrated stress response on the progression of cardiovascular aging related diseases;
• Rebuilding the barrier of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and investigating other feasible strategies to correct the oxidative stress response in the improvement of cardiovascular aging related diseases.
