Researchers have found that when the protein matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) is reduced or lost, white blood cells, known as macrophages, become good and could prevent hardening of the arteries, rupture and sudden death.
The study, led by Dr. Jason Johnson, senior research fellow in the
University of Bristol’s School of Clinical Sciences, is published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology and was funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
