Catalase Overexpression Prevents Mechanical Changes in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation

Biomedical engineering, animal models of human disease, and potential long-term public health risk factors converge in our latest podcast on the article by Maiellaro-Rafferty et al. Listen as Associate Editor Ivor Benjamin, senior author W. Robert Taylor (Emory University), and leading expert Neal Weintraub (University of Cincinnati) discuss preventing the pathological mechanical changes underlying abdominal aortic aneurysm formation.
