5. Promising target for new atherosclerosis therapies linked to leukemia
   11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   In recent years, scientists studying inflammation and atherosclerosis have seen their respective fields converging, with research findings showing chronic inflammation as a driver of the atherosclerotic process. Now, in a new study, scientists at the Wistar Institute pursuing a promising new immune-system target for anti-atherosclerosis therapies have discovered another convergence: An unwanted potential side effect of any such therapies is a dangerous blood cancer called chronic myelogenous leukemia, or CML.
