New form of treatment to reduce risk of surgery-related ischemic brain injury?
Ischemic brain injury due to heart and vascular surgery causes more than 100,000 deaths annually in Europe and the United States. In addition, approximately 10–20% of patients undergoing heart and vascular surgery – at least 1.5 million people in Europe and the United States every year – suffer from ischemic brain injury as a side-effect of tSee Original Article

Linking vascular inflammation to obesity and atherosclerosis
Researchers show that IKKβ functions in smooth muscle cells to regulate vascular inflammatory responses and atherosclerosis development in mice. Surprisingly, the lack of IKKβ also protects the animals from diet-induced obesity. The use of IKKβ inhibitors may provide an innovative treatment for atherosclerosis, obesity, and metabolic disorders.<See Original Article
