There is a recent dramatic increase in research on thoracic aortic diseases that includes aneurysms, dissections, and rupture. Experimental studies predominantly use mice in which aortopathy is induced by chemical interventions, genetic manipulations, or both. Many parameters should be deliberated in experimental design in concert with multiple considerations when providing dimensional data and characterization of aortic tissues. The purpose of this review is to provide recommendations on guidance in (1) the selection of a mouse model and experimental conditions for the study, (2) parameters for standardizing detection and measurements of aortic diseases, (3) meaningful interpretation of characteristics of diseased aortic tissue, and (4) reporting standards that include rigor and transparency.

Background: Aortic aneurysm/dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening disease lacking effective pharmacological treatment. Protein ubiquitination plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular diseases. However, the possible contribution of the E3 ubiquitin ligase March2 (membrane-associated RING finger protein 2) to the cause of AAD remains elusive.

Angiogenesis, primarily driven by the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor, the VEGFR, plays a key role in various pathological processes such as cancer progression. Here, we investigated the anti-angiogenic effects of Lucknolide A (LA), a marine -derived compound, and evaluated its potential as a VEGFR2 inhibitor. LA selectively inhibited the proliferation of human endothelial cells EA.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, particularly in the elderly, with a prevalence of approximately 3% in individuals over 75 years of age. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) remains the standard treatment, yet postoperative hemodynamic assessment is often complicated by variations in prosthetic valve size, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), effective orifice area (EOA), and body surface area (BSA). These factors significantly influence prosthetic valve function and contribute to patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM), which has been associated with worse clinical outcomes.

Objectives: To explore the natural history of protrusio acetabuli (PA) in adults with Marfan syndrome (MFS) via a prospective 10-year follow-up study.
Methods: 2014 through 2015, 62 of 87 survivors from a nationwide cross-sectional study of 105 adults with presumed MFS were re-examined. At follow-up, MFS was diagnosed in 46 participants, and other hereditary connective tissue disorders in 12 participants.
