Role of Recurrent Somatic Mutation and Progerin Expression in Early Vascular Aging of Chronic Kidney Disease

1. Academic Background and Research Rationale Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global public health challenge. Epidemiological data indicate that CKD affects approximately 10–12% of the world’s population, acting as a major driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide. CKD patients often display “Early Vascular Aging” (EVA) phenomena...

Large-scale plasma proteomic profiling unveils diagnostic biomarkers and pathways for Alzheimer's disease

1. Research Background and Academic Significance Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide, accounting for about 60–80% of all dementia cases. The primary affected population is individuals over 65 years old, with characteristic pathological features including the deposition of amyloid-β plaques, neurofibrillary tangles...
