Quantitative susceptibility mapping of the human carotid artery: Assessing sensitivity to elastin and collagen ex vivo

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 771-784, August 2025.
Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

Macrophage WEE1 Directly Binds to and Phosphorylates NF‐κB p65 Subunit to Induce Inflammatory Response and Drive Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 26, July 10, 2025.
The present study shows that macrophage WEE1 drives NF‐κB activation and inflammatory atherosclerosis by directly phosphorylating p65 at S536. This finding illustrates a macrophage‐specific WEE1‐p65 axis in regulating inflammatory atherosclerosis and points out new directions to broaden the clinical applications for WEE1 inhibitors in atherosclerosis ...
