Vessel Wall Biology's profile in Lund University Research portal

Description

Our research is focused on the involvement of the arterial smooth muscle cell and the extracellular matrix in the two diseases atherosclerosis and pulmonary hypertension. Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause for heart infarction and stroke, leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Pulmonary hypertension means high blood pressure in the vessels in the lung. This is a serious condition where treatment options are limited.
