CAPE, a natural substance found in bee propolis, was shown in a recent study to slow down the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms. It does this by reducing inflammation and stopping certain cells from changing in harmful ways, mainly by blocking a cell‑signaling process called the NF‑κB pathway.

Background In our previous animal experiments, we found that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) inhibited the early formation of elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in rats. However, its efficacy in the angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced AAA model and the underlying mechanism remain uncl...
