MTR4: A Conserved Youth Factor for Vascular Endothelium.
Vascular endothelial cell (VEC) senescence drives organismal aging and age-related pathologies, yet the intrinsic factors preserving endothelial youthfulness remain poorly defined. Here, we identify MTR4, an evolutionarily conserved RNA helicase and nuclear RNA exosome cofactor, as a novel regulator of VEC senescence....
