Vascular Aging and Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms and Influences
author
Abstract:
Vascular aging plays an important role in the mortality of the elderly, but vascular aging can be dependent on other factors such as diseases. Various diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, thalassemia, and other diseases affect the mechanisms of vascular aging. It will harm the recovery process of these patients. There are methods for measuring vascular aging such as instrumental measurements and molecular methods. The best way to measure vascular aging is a combination of methods to determine the mechanism and cause of vascular aging. In this review article, we first summarize the various mechanisms of vascular aging and then discuss the effect of different disease on vascular aging.

Endothelium Aging and Vascular Diseases
Aging is a biological process that causes a progressive deterioration of structure and func‐ tion of all organs over the time [1]. According to the United Nation’s report, the number of people aged 60 and over in the world has increased from 8% (200 million) in 1950 to 11% (760 million) in 2005, and it is estimated that this number will further increase to 22% (2 bil‐ lion) in 2050. It is expec...

Introduction: The exact cause of most autoimmune diseases is still unknown; however, several factors play a role in causing or exacerbating autoimmune reactions. In addition to environmental factors such as bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections, factors such as genetic characteristics and lifestyle are also included. Infections caused by viruses usually trigger a strong immune respo...

Barrett's metaplasia is discussed in the context of a general theory for the formation of metaplasias based on developmental biology. The phenotype of a particular tissue type becomes established during embryonic development by the expression of a specific set of transcription factors. If this combination becomes altered, then the tissue type can be altered. Such events may occur by mutation or...

As with many age-related diseases including vascular dysfunction, age is considered an independent and crucial risk factor. Complicated alterations of structure and function in the vasculature are linked with aging hence, understanding the underlying mechanisms of age-induced vascular pathophysiological changes holds possibilities for developing clinical diagnostic methods and new therapeutic s...
