Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are known to reduce major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, but the full extent of their mechanisms is still being explored. The SEMA-VR CardioLink-15 trial investigated whether semaglutide affects the levels of circulating vascular regenerative (VR) cells, which are involved in vessel repair and may modulate atherothrombotic risk.¹…
