Progressive Microstructural Deterioration Dictates Evolving Biomechanical Dysfunction in the Marfan Aorta
Medial deterioration leading to thoracic aortic aneurysms arises from multiple causes, chief among them mutations to the gene that encodes fibrillin-1 and leads to Marfan syndrome. Fibrillin-1 microfibrils associate with elastin to form elastic fibers, which are essential structural, functional, and...
