Brief description Proteases can contribute to atherosclerosis, so they are normally controlled by the endogenous inhibitor, Cystatin C (Cst C). Some conditions cause reduction in Cst C levels and hence disease. On the other hand, excess Cst C can form toxic aggregates. In this project, we will identify mechanisms controlling Cst C expression and aggregation to find therapeutic strategies to treat cardiovascular diseases associated with Cst C.
