Abstract
Aging is associated with a progressive decline in cardiovascular structure and function. Accumulating evidence links cardiovascular aging to epigenetic alterations encompassing a complex interplay of DNA methylation, histone posttranslational modifications, and dynamic nucleosome occupancy governed by numerous epigenetic factors. Advances in genomics technology have led to a profound understanding of chromatin reorganization in both cardiovascular aging and diseases. This review summarizes recent discoveries in epigenetic mechanisms involved in cardiovascular aging and diseases and discusses potential therapeutic strategies to retard cardiovascular aging and conquer related diseases through the rejuvenation of epigenetic signatures to a young state.
期刊介绍：
Circulation Research is a peer-reviewed journal that serves as a forum for the highest quality research in basic cardiovascular biology. The journal publishes studies that utilize state-of-the-art approaches to investigate mechanisms of human disease, as well as translational and clinical research that provide fundamental insights into the basis of disease and the mechanism of therapies.
Circulation Research has a broad audience that includes clinical and academic cardiologists, basic cardiovascular scientists, physiologists, cellular and molecular biologists, and cardiovascular pharmacologists. The journal aims to advance the understanding of cardiovascular biology and disease by disseminating cutting-edge research to these diverse communities.
In terms of indexing, Circulation Research is included in several prominent scientific databases, including BIOSIS, CAB Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, Current Contents, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. This ensures that the journal's articles are easily discoverable and accessible to researchers in the field.
Overall, Circulation Research is a reputable publication that attracts high-quality research and provides a platform for the dissemination of important findings in basic cardiovascular biology and its translational and clinical applications.
