To review the molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence that impair tissue repair and drive cardiovascular disease, focusing on the roles of telomere length and microRNA regulation.
Synthesized molecular and cellular evidence linking aging, oxidative stress, and senescence across cardiac, endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, and stem cell populations.
Evaluated the regulatory impacts of telomere shortening and altered microRNA expression on cardiovascular repair and investigated regenerative therapeutic approaches.
Accelerated senescence in endothelial and cardiac lineages, aggravated by oxidative stress and inflammation, directly impairs vascular regeneration and promotes cardiovascular disease progression.
Stem cell pools, including endothelial progenitor cells and haematopoietic stem cells, exhibit age-associated functional decline driven by telomeric erosion and microRNA dysregulation.
