Can microRNAs help to restore blood flow in peripheral arterial disease?University of Edinburgh | Dr Andrea Caporali
Dr Andrea Caporali is finding out if a molecule called microRNA-26b could treat critical limb ischaemia, a condition where blood flow to the limbs is restricted because the blood vessels become blocked. Critical limb ischaemia is a severe ...

The link between mitochondria damage, inflammation and atherosclerosisUniversity of Cambridge | Dr Emma Yu
In atherosclerosis, the blood vessels in our bodies ‘fur up’ with fatty plaque deposits and blood vessels narrow. If the blood flow supplying the heart or the brain becomes blocked or restricted, or if fatty plaques rupture, heart attacks a...

Preventing stroke damage by mimicking the body’s own anti-clot drugsUniversity of Manchester | Professor Stuart M Allan
Stroke is a devastating condition which occurs when blood supply to the brain is limited. It can occur when a clot blocks the brains blood supply and is made worse by inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain. Von Willebrand Factor (v...
