Mainz scientists identify enzyme responsible for vascular damage caused by aircraft noise

(Johannes Gutenberg Universitaet Mainz) In a recent study, scientists at the Department of Cardiology at the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have identified an enzyme responsible for aircraft-related vascular damage. The researchers were also able to show that night-time noise has a particularly harmful effect and thus demand that night-time sleep be protected from noise.
