Disrupting a gene that acts as a switch to turn on other genes can keep blood vessels from forming and developing properly has been discovered by University of North Carolina researchers. Further study of this gene - a "transcription factor" called CASZ1 - may uncover a regulatory network that influences the development of cardiovascular disease.

Molecular Role of Gene Linked to Blood Vessel Formation Uncovered
