New Treatment Options for Heart Disease and Cancer

Targeting leptin production by pericytes that surround blood vessels could offer potentially novel treatment options for cancer and heart disease, the two major killer diseases, not only in the UK but worldwide, according to a recent research by scientists at the University of Bristol. The findings of the study appeared in Scientific Reports.
