When blood vessels become narrowed, it can lead to heart attack and stroke.
This is caused by atherosclerosis which is due to a combination of build-up of fatty deposits within the blood vessel walls and the immune system reacting to these deposits, called inflammation. This project will test whether a protein called “interleukin-2” can reduce inflammation and atherosclerosis.
This could lead to the development of new treatments of the underlying process that causes heart attack and stroke.
