Stigmasterol attenuates atherosclerosis by inhibiting inflammatory signaling and foam cell formation [PDF]
iMetaOmicsFoam cells derived from macrophages and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a pivotal role in the progression of atherosclerosis. While phytosterols (PS) have demonstrated cholesterol‐lowering and anti‐inflammatory properties, their impact on foam cells ...

Foam Cell Macrophages in Tuberculosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects primarily macrophages in the lungs. Infected macrophages are surrounded by other immune cells in well organised structures called granulomata. As part of the response to TB, a type of macrophage loaded with lipid droplets arises which we call Foam cell macrophages. They are macrophages filled with lipid laden droplets,

The Influence of Foaming Agents on Aluminium Foam Cell Morphology
Metals, 2023 The choice of foaming agent and its mass fraction significantly affect the size and number of metal foam cells. The powder metallurgy process was used to produce aluminium foams with the addition of various foaming agents: titanium hydride (TiH2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Modified Lipoproteins Induce Arterial Wall Inflammation During Atherogenesis
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Circulating apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, notably the low-density lipoproteins, enter the inner layer of the arterial wall, the intima, where a fraction of them is retained and modified by proteases, lipases, and oxidizing agents and enzymes.

Comparative study of several different modeling methods for clossed- cell metal foam
Journal of Aeronautical Materials, 2020 In order to study the uniaxial compression properties of closed-cell metal foam, three different modeling methods were used in this paper to establish 2D random cell, 3D Kelvin and 3D voronoi metal foam model.

Drug screen identifies verteporfin as a regulator of lipid metabolism in macrophage foam cells
Scientific Reports, 2023 Arterial macrophage foam cells are filled with cholesterol ester (CE) stored in cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs). Foam cells are central players in progression of atherosclerosis as regulators of lipid metabolism and inflammation, two major driving forces ...

Computational Modeling of the Elastic Property of Three-Dimensional Open Cell Foams [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2018 The work reports on the development of random three-dimensional Laguerre-Voronoi computational models for open cell foams. The proposed method can accurately generate foam models having randomly distributed parameter values.
