The lymphatic system: a new target for the treatment of atherosclerosis in women

A menopausal woman is four times more likely to develop atherosclerosis. Dr. Catherine Martel and her team are leading the ESTROLY project that focuses on the role the lymphatic system plays in women developing this disease. Their findings could enable health care teams to detect risks at an earlier stage and act preventively, well before the onset of heart disease.
