Activator protein-1 (AP-1) inhibition prevents endothelial to mesenchymal transition in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis: a translational study
This study identifies AP-1 inhibition with T-5224 as a potential therapeutic approach for EndMT resulting in reduced atherosclerosis in diabetes. The use of human serum underscores the translational relevance of these findings.
