University receives NIH grant for pioneering cardiovascular treatment research

By Show-Me State Times | Sep 17, 2024

In a notable discovery, a team of researchers at the University of Missouri has helped pioneer a molecular therapeutic that reduces arterial stiffness and improves blood vessel function, providing hope for those suffering from cardiovascular disease.
