Comprehensive and in-depth in its coverage, Atherosclerosis: Cellular, Molecular & Biochemical Mechanism and Novel Therapy reviews the recent progress in atherosclerosis research and offers cutting edge perspectives from experts in the field. Written by an international team of authors including leading physician-scientists, research experts and physicians, chapters are divided into four major sections, covering risk factors, cellular and molecular mechanisms, biochemical mechanisms and novel and future therapeutics.

Atherosclerosis: Cellular, Molecular & Biochemical Mechanism and Novel Therapy analyses recent progress from both conceptual and technological perspectives, suggesting new directions for atherosclerosis research and treatment for a growing population of researchers and clinicians in cardiovascular and related fields.

Hong Wang is a professor of pharmacology at Temple University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on mechanisms of vascular disease, using research approaches includinggenetic cloning, molecular biology, protein chemistry and immunohistochemistry. Dr. Wang is the author of numerous publications in peer reviewed journals including Cardiovascular Research, Atherosclerosis, Blood, and Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine.
