UW researchers led by stem cell scientist Valentina Lo Sardo have found that cells carrying specific alterations in human chromosome 9 are more prone to calcification. Understanding how the change in the genome increases risk for coronary artery disease is a step toward potentially preventing its damaging effects and perhaps one day developing therapeutic strategies to block the risky changes in arteries.
