Nicotine-free electronic vape fluid stimulates angiogenic processes in vitro through ARF6-mediated oxidative stress
These findings demonstrate that nicotine-free eVape causes aberrant upregulated angiogenesis in an in vitro model of the human endothelium through ARNO-dependent signalling. This study is the first to demonstrate the molecular mechanisms in response to the cellular stressor, nicotine-free eVape which underlie impaired vascular function.
