Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes is a chronic disease affecting 275 people daily in Australia. People with diabetes have a 2-4 fold greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) can promote cell growth and death selectively. High density lipoproteins are shown to protect against diabetes and CVD. Understanding the mechanism(s) that mediate this process may lead to the design of therapeutic agents to reduce suffering of patients with diabetes and CVD.
