Investigating the impact of protein S-sulfhydration modification on vascular diseases: A comprehensive review.

The post-translational modification of cysteine through redox reactions, especially S-sulfhydration, plays a critical role in regulating protein activity, interactions, and spatial arrangement. This review focuses on the impact of protein S-sulfhydration on vascular function and its implications in vascular diseases. Dysregulated S-sulfhydration has been linked to the development of vascular pathologies, including aortic aneurysms and dissections, atherosclerosis, and thrombotic diseases.
