Now, researchers have a clearer picture of the cellular signals that contribute to progression of aortic aneurysm in Marfan syndrome and how losartan alters those signals. The new information is expected to help guide treatment decisions, as well as efforts to develop therapies that might offer benefits that losartan ...
