New discoveries in atherosclerosis pathways have shed light on the active mechanisms in other diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HIV, paving the way for furture therapeutics.
Researchers show that genetic traits influence the cellular composition of atherosclerotic plaques, which over time will affect the risk of such lesions to cause a stroke or heart attack. The new ...
Novel drugs for atherosclerosis have taken a hard hit in the past year, making it unlikely that any will make it to market this decade. But lessons learned from these failures might help the ...
