A new SO2 probe ZSO targeting VDBP inhibits high glucose induced endothelial cell senescence and calcification
This study identifies ZSO as a novel small molecule that inhibits endothelial senescence and calcification, and establishes its role in directly targeting VDBP to promote degradation. Furthermore, our findings underscore the critical role of VDBP in vascular aging and calcification and suggest its potential utility as a biomarker for diabetic vascular complications.
