Localization of lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia Coli into human atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]
, 2018 Experimental studies showed that gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is pro-atherogenic, however, its relationship with human atherosclerosis is still to be defined.

Imaging the carotid atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]
Vascular Biology, 2019 This mini review provides a concise overview of imaging techniques that are currently used to image the atheroscletoric plaque in the carotid artery in vivo. The main techniques include ultrasound imaging, X-ray imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography imaging.

Research Progress on the Risk Factors and Outcomes of Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
Chinese Medical Journal, 2017 Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process that results in complex lesions or plaques that protrude into the arterial lumen. Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture, with distal atheromatous debris embolization, causes cerebrovascular events ...

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition: a 3T and 7T MRI-histology correlation study [PDF]
, 2016 Background and Purpose Carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque composition may influence plaque stability and risk of thromboembolic events, and non-invasive plaque imaging may therefore permit risk stratification for clinical management.

Angiogenesis in the atherosclerotic plaque
Redox Biology, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a multifocal alteration of the vascular wall of medium and large arteries characterized by a local accumulation of cholesterol and non-resolving inflammation. Atherothrombotic complications are the leading cause of disability and mortality in western countries.

Anti‐atherosclerotic effect of the angiotensin 1–7 mimetic AVE0991 is mediated by inhibition of perivascular and plaque inflammation in early atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2017 Background and Purpose: Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. A protective role of angiotensin-(1-7) in vascular pathologies opened a possibility for therapeutic use of small molecule non-peptide Ang-(1-7) mimetics, such as AVE0991.

Noninvasive imaging of focal atherosclerotic lesions using fluorescence molecular tomography [PDF]
, 2014 Insights into the etiology of stroke and myocardial infarction suggest that rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaque is the precipitating event. Clinicians lack tools to detect lesion instability early enough to intervene, and are often left to manage ...
