Study 1: Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 mediates cellular senescence induced by high glucose in endothelial cells.
"Vascular ageing is accelerated in patients with diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that high glucose induces activation of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1.), an apoptosis-inducing signal that mediates endothelial cell senescence induced by hyperglycemia," researchers in Japan report.
