Experimental drug reduces risk of death from blood vessel rupture in mice: Could lead to therapies for people at risk of sudden rupture due to abdominal aortic aneurysm

Researchers have shown that an experimental nanoparticle-based drug therapy protects mice from sudden death due to the rupture of a major blood vessel in the abdomen, pointing the way toward a new strategy for treating deadly abdominal aortic aneurysms.
