Potential To Improve Heart And Stroke Treatments Following Enzyme Discovery

A Queen’s University study sheds new light on the way one of our cell enzymes, implicated in causing tissue damage after heart attacks and strokes, is normally kept under control. Led by Biochemistry professor Peter Davies, the research team’s discovery will be useful in developing new drug treatments that can aid recovery in stroke and heart disease, as well as lessen the effects of Alzheimer’s and other neurologically degenerative diseases.
