Is it just me, or is there almost a complete blackout of knowledge when it comes to what is actually wrong with the bicuspid aorta? Maybe this is a silly question, but have any molecular biologists looked at and contrasted the normal aorta vs the bicuspid aorta under a microscope? Maybe we should look closer at the similarities and differences between the marfan aorta and the bicsupid aorta, eh? Clearly there is something wrong on the molecular level, and the shape of the valve and the pressures coming from it are not the sole offender.
Why not design a study that examines what TGF-b is doing to the bicuspid aorta, if anything?
If we do not know the cause of the problem, how can we prevent the problem? For that matter, how can we truly fix it?
Discuss with me!
