Vessel-cell enzyme helped drive artery plaque buildup in mice
Mice with high cholesterol developed less artery plaque when researchers deleted an enzyme from blood-vessel lining cells in experiments on disturbed blood flow.Mice with high cholesterol developed less artery plaque when researchers deleted an enzyme from blood-vessel lining cells in experiments on disturbed blood flow.
