Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified the protein Nucleoporin93 (Nup93) as crucial for maintaining endothelial cell health and preventing vascular aging. The study, published in the journal Aging, suggests that restoring Nup93 levels can reverse damage in blood vessels, offering potential new therapies for cardiovascular diseases. The research highlights the role of Nup93 in regulating molecular exchanges within cells and preventing harmful protein build-ups, which could lead to innovative treatments for age-related vascular conditions.
