However, mounting evidence illustrates considerable variability in bleeding phenotype regardless of FVIII level. Despite treatment advances, people with moderate or mild HA may be neglected, as treatment guidelines and established norms focus on FVIII levels, and many clinical trials do not include people with FVIII > 1%.

However, it is associated with fatal and dose-dependent cardiovascular complications, especially cardiotoxicity. Mitochondrial quality control mechanisms, encompassing mitophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitochondrial biogenesis, maintain mitochondrial homeostasis in the cardiovascular system.

Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of free radicals by oxidants and their removal by antioxidants. Chronic oxidative stress is a key factor in inflammation, characterized by hypoxic microenvironments and elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Psoriasis, a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder, profoundly impacts the physical and psychological well-being of affected individuals.
