Could SIRT6 hold the key to new drugs for atherosclerosis?University of Cambridge | Professor Martin Bennett
BHF Professor Martin Bennett and colleagues at the University of Cambridge are working out if a protein called SIRT6 could be a target for new drugs to treat atherosclerosis, a condition where fatty materials build-up inside arteries. A he...

What controls how new blood vessels grow?University of Oxford | Professor Sarah De Val
Dr Sarah de Val and her colleagues at the University of Oxford are working out how new blood vessels grow during development and after a heart attack, to find clues on how to repair damaged heart muscle. After a heart attack, new blood ves...
