Dr. Gerald Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, said: "Even if we delay the process by exercise and rabbit food, sooner or later our blood vessels rot. Now that we appreciate that atherosclerosis is inflammation gone awry, we can attack its root causes. Studies like these take us closer to delaying the inevitable, and help us understand the factors that provoke heart attacks and strokes."

The journal has also published a study discussing a new approach toward repairing the damage using artificial grafts that may heal into the natural arteries and blood vessels as time goes on. (ANI)
