Phenotypic Shifts in Macrophages Within Advanced Atherosclerotic Plaques in Humans [PDF]

FASEB BioAdvances
The importance of macrophage polarization through atherogenesis is established. However, most studies rely on immunohistological approaches, which have several limitations, such as precluding comprehensive phenotypic analysis.

Geometric consistency among atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries evaluated by multidimensional parameters [PDF]

Heliyon
The three-dimensional (3D) geometry of carotid atherosclerotic plaques is associated with multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unknown if carotid plaques of different sizes are consistent in 3D geometry, with a lack of quantitative ...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging as a Tool to Investigate Region Specific Lipid Alterations in Symptomatic Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques

Metabolites, 2021
Atherosclerosis is characterized by fatty plaques in large and medium sized arteries. Their rupture can causes thrombi, occlusions of downstream vessels and adverse clinical events.

Genes involved in systemic and arterial bed dependent atherosclerosis--Tampere Vascular study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis is a complex disease with hundreds of genes influencing its progression. In addition, the phenotype of the disease varies significantly depending on the arterial bed.
