Alexandros Makis: Exploring Vascular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets in β-Thalassemia
Alexandros Makis, Professor of Pediatrics/Pediatric Hematology at Faculty of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Thalassemia Reports, adding:
“Pleased to share that our recent review, ‘Endothelial Dysfunction in β-Thalassemia: Mechanisms, Biomarkers, Vascular Imaging and Therapeutic Perspectives,’ has been selected as the Cover Story of Thalassemia Reports, Volume 16, Issue 3.
Our review highlights the central role of endothelial dysfunction in β-thalassemia, exploring its underlying mechanisms, emerging biomarkers, vascular complications, and potential therapeutic targets.
We emphasize the importance of integrating endothelial biomarkers and vascular imaging into future clinical studies to improve cardiovascular risk assessment and advance personalized care for patients with β-thalassemia.
Many thanks to my co-authors Ioanna Saougou and Antonios Vlahos for their valuable collaboration!”
