Gladstone scientists identify genetic factors that hold promise for treatment of vascular diseases
5 Jul 2009
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have discovered a key switch that makes stem cells turn into the type of muscle cells that reside in the wall of blood vessels. The same switch might be used in the future...
