Temple researchers track new path to therapeutic prevention of abdominal aortic aneurysm
(Temple University Health System) New research by scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University suggests that abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be prevented therapeutically. In work published online May 28 in the journal Cardiovascular Research, they show for the first time in animals that blocking a molecule known as dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) can stop AAA from developing.

More Medical Device Businesses Impacted by COVID-19
The uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 is making it difficult for public companies to accurately forecast 2020 earnings. Irvine, CA-based Endologix recently joined a growing list of medical device companies that have withdrawn previously-reported financial guidance for the year.
The company makes endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once an AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture.
Endologix said AAA p...
