Identification of Schwann Cells in Human Intracranial Arteries: Potential Regulatory Role in Atherosclerotic Plaque Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schwann cells may facilitate intracranial plaque progression via neurovascular remodelingcting with vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic plaques, with the SPP1 ‐ ITGB1 signaling axis mediating this interaction as a novel mechanism. Abstract Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS), a common cause of ischemic stroke, remains a therapeutic ...

Ferrocene‐Functionalized Black Phosphorus Nanoplatform Enables Targeted and Prolonged MRI Visualization of Atherosclerotic Plaques

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aminoferrocene is employed to modify black phosphorus, generating stable phosphorus radicals (FcP). The FcP is then functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) to produce the HA‐FcP radical complex, thereby developing a novel, highly efficient, sensitive, long‐lasting, and low‐heavy‐metal‐content radical contrast agent for targeted imaging of ...

ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE OF RENAL VASA RECTA ON PATIENT WITH CALCIUM STONE

Jurnal Urologi Indonesia, 2013
Objective: We would like to identify whether atherosclerotic plaque inside renal vasa recta correlates with the formation of calcium stone. Material & Method: Samples are taken from kidney tissue removed by nephrectomy due to stone and non-stone disease.

Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2013
Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.

Integration of Cholesterol Oxidase‐Based Biosensors on a Smart Contact Lens for Wireless Cholesterol Monitoring from Tears

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The combination of a parity‐time symmetry wireless technology with a cholesterol sensor integrated into a smart contact lens enables high‐sensitivity cholesterol sensing at low concentration. Cholesterol plays a critical role in physiological functions, but elevated levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Effect of Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with elevated triglycerides (200-499 mg/dL) on statin therapy: Rationale and design of the EVAPORATE study. [PDF]

, 2018
Despite reducing progression and promoting regression of coronary atherosclerosis, statin therapy does not fully address residual cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Harnessing Physiological Shear Stress in a Perfusion Bioreactor for Enhanced Endothelialization of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Traditional static culture provides limited physiological relevance for evaluation of vascular grafts. A perfusion bioreactor system can provide more accurate in vitro model for evaluation of vascular grafts, exposing endothelial cells on 3D structure to physiological or pathological shear stress.

Relationship between the Levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1, and Zinc in Biological Samples of Patients with Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

International Journal of Biomedicine, 2015
The aim our study was to evaluate the levels of zinc in blood serum, hair, and specimens of carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques (CAAPs) and their relationship to levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the serum of patients with stable and unstable CAAPs ...
