Role of ferroptosis-related genes in Stanford type a aortic dissection and identification of key genes: new insights from bioinformatic analysis

Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is one of the most dangerous vascular diseases worldwide, and the mechanisms of its development remain unclear. Further molecular pathology studies may contribute to a comprehensive understanding of TAAD and provide new insights into diagnostic markers and po...
