MFAP4 Deficiency Attenuates Angiotensin II-Induced Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation Through Regulation of Macrophage Infiltration and Activity

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common age-related vascular disease characterized by progressive weakening and dilatation of the aortic wall. Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein involved in the induction of vascular remodeling. This st...
