Protein S on the surface of plasma lipoproteins: a potential mechanism for protein S delivery to the atherosclerotic plaques?

Bleeding, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2022
The anticoagulant protein S (PS) binds phospholipids with very high affinity, but PS interaction with lipoproteins and lipidrich atherosclerotic plaques remains still poorly defined.

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.

Travelling to Rome : inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and angiogenesis during atherosclerotic plaque development [PDF]

, 2010
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide followed by cancer. Atherosclerosis, the major underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases, is a syndrome affecting medium-sized and large arteries.

Stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques: an update [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2013
The majority of coronary thrombi (∼75%) is caused by plaque rupture .1,2 Prototype of the rupture-prone plaque contains a large, soft, lipid-rich necrotic core with a thin and inflamed fibrous cap, so-called thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) ( Figure 1 ).3,4 Other common features include expansive remodelling, large plaque size, plaque haemorrhage ...

Autophagy in Atherosclerosis: A Phenomenon Found in Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques

Chinese Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Autophagy has been found to be involved in animal and cell models of atherosclerosis, but to date, it lacks general observation in human atherosclerotic plaques. Here, we investigated autophagy in smooth muscle cells (SMCs), endothelial cells

Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
The recent proliferation of invasive and noninvasive techniques to locate vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques raises important questions. Will such techniques add useful prognostic information? If so, will the information prevent myocardial infarction, stroke, or death in at least some patients at risk? Will it lead to new research advances?

Myeloid IκBα deficiency promotes atherogenesis by enhancing leukocyte recruitment to the plaques. [PDF]

, 2011
Activation of the transcription factor NF-κB appears to be involved in different stages of atherogenesis. In this paper we investigate the role of NF-κB inhibitor IκBα in atherosclerosis.
