Thymidine Phosphorylase Promotes the Formation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Mice Fed a Western Diet

This study shows that TYMP promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in mice fed a Western diet by enhancing inflammation, thrombosis, and MMP2 activation while inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell function.

Thymidine Phosphorylase Mediates SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Enhanced Thrombosis in K18-hACE2TG Mice

This study identifies thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) as a mediator of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-induced thrombosis in mice, showing that TYMP inhibition reduces thrombosis and coagulation.
