Funded Activity Summary

Artery weakening or aneurysm is an important cause of mortality in older adults. Currently there are only surgical therapies for artery weakening. In this project the role of a protein which may inhibit artery weakening is investigated. In this project we assess if targeting this protein could limit artery weakening using pre-clinical models.
