The Cai Lab attended AHA-LA Symposium and our Divisional Retreat at Science Museum.

The Cai Lab attended local Los Angeles American Heart Association Symposium, presenting 10 oral/poster presentations. Dr. Cai gave an invited talk on “Novel NO-modulating pathways in cardiovascular injury and protection”. We all enjoyed the science very much, and the space shuttle!
