Funded Activity Summary

Vascular dysfunction is a common feature of many diseases, including sepsis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, tumours and asthma. These vessels have compromised structural and functional integrity, leading to leakage of blood components and causing inflammation in tissues. Based on our recent findings, this project aims to discover how activated protein C creates normal, healthy non-leaky blood vessels and prevents vascular dysfunction in disease.
