Temple Researchers Track New Path to Therapeutic Prevention of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

New research from Temple scientists suggests that abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be prevented therapeutically. In work published online May 28 in the journal Cardiovascular Research, they show for the first time in animals that blocking a molecule known as dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) can stop AAA from developing.

Temple Researchers Uncover Link between Blood Vessel Inflammation and Malfunctioning Cellular Powerhouses

In new research, scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine have uncovered a novel mechanism by which abnormalities in mitochondrial fission in endothelial cells – the cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels – contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system. They further show how the fission-fusion balance can be stabilized to lower inflammation using salicylate, the main active ingredient in everyday pain-relieving drugs like aspirin.
