Brief description Cells that line the liver blood vessels undergo predictable and distinct changes with age that increase the risk of developing diseases of older age like Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease. We can now selectively target the changes in the liver cells with nanomedicines to prevent and treat these changes. The implications of this study are vast – a new therapy for the prevention and treatment of age-related cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
