NIBR Science Winter 2006 issue
 

There is a perception that drugs currently on the market for cardiovascular disease are adequate, and therefore we do not need to invest in new cardiovascular drugs. Is this true? The latest (and final ) issue of NIBR Science magazine looks closely at one cardiovascular disease in a Feature story about heart failure. Other stories include the use of in vivo imaging to identify plaque growth in Alzheimer's Disease; decoding a rare skeletal disorder, Van Buchem Disease; exploring the genetic and biochemical basis of brain functioning; and a look into Karen Wang's Analytical Sciences group.
