Gladstone scientists identify genetic factors that hold promise for treatment of vascular diseases (EurekAlert!)
( Gladstone Institutes ) Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease have discovered a key switch that makes stem cells turn into the type of muscle cells that reside in the wall of blood vessels. The same switch might be used in the future to limit growth of vascular muscle cells that cause narrowing of arteries leading to heart attacks and strokes, limit formation of blood …
