Thrilled to share the🥇paper from the lab @ahajournals.bsky.social. Here we continue to unravel the mysteries of the 9p21.3 CAD locus showing it drives VSMC transition into an osteochondrogenic state, promoting calcification. @clintomics.bsky.social @UWMadison CRB. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

9p21.3 Coronary Artery Disease Risk Locus Drives Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells to an Osteochondrogenic State | Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic variants at ≈300 human genomic loci linked to coronary artery disease susceptibility. Among these genomic regions, the most i...
