 | | A better understanding of how epicardial adipocytes sense and respond to inflammation and ischemia could lead to new, rationally designed therapies for heart disease. |
 | | Other members of the research team participating in these ongoing studies of epicardial adipose tissue and vascular inflammation include Sara Romig-Martin, Allan Harrelson, Eric Dickson, Gerene Denning, Xiang Fang, Arthur Spector, Salam Sbaity, Bryon Johnson, and Satjit Adlakha. |
 | | These studies are funded by the National institutes of Health and the Veterans Affairs Office of Research Support, along with a grant from Pfizer. |
