Study reveals a key to blood vessel growth and possible drug target
Date:10/14/2007

the molecular basis of how endothelial cell-related pathologies such as cancer, diabetic eye complications, known as retinopathies, atherosclerosis and system lupus develop, Santoro said. It can also help us design new therapeutic strategies for these diseases.

The team hopes that future researchers will investigate other avenues and alternative pathways. Because vascular health impacts many different diseases, understanding how to genetically control endothelial cell survival and apoptosis is critical to future work in these areas, Stainier said.
