Periodic Reporting for period 2 - DYNAMICE (DYNAMICE: An integrated framework for biomechanical phenotyping of arteries to disentangle mechanical causes of arterial stiffening in diabetes)

Accelerated arterial stiffening, an important complication in diabetes, increases cardiac workload eventually leading to heart failure. The arterial wall —consisting of elastin, collagen, smooth muscle, and glycosaminoglycans— may stiffen in diabetes due to 1) advanced...
