Abstract:Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a relatively common vascular malformation of an intracranial artery. In most cases, its presence is asymptomatic, but IA rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage is a life-threating condition with very high mortality and disability rates. Despite intensive studies, molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of IA formation, growth, and rupture remain poorly understood. There are no specific biomarkers of IA presence or rupture. Analysis of expression of mRNA and other RNA … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
