Reports Summarize Atherosclerosis Research from University Medical Center Utrecht (Drug-interacting gene expression levels differ between atherosclerotic plaque subtypes).

A recent report from the University Medical Center Utrecht discusses the findings of a study on atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries. The study identified five major subtypes of atherosclerotic plaques and examined the differential expression of drug-responsive genes in these subtypes. The researchers found that there were significant differences in gene expression levels between the plaque subtypes, suggesting that different drugs used to treat atherosclerosis may have varying effects depending on the subtype of plaque. This research provides valuable insights into personalized treatment approaches for atherosclerosis. [Extracted from the article]
