People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying prematurely due to atherosclerosis. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has now identified molecular mechanisms that may explain the increased risk. Their discovery may lead to more accurate treatments for patients with atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes in the future. People with type 2 diabete
