Identification and validation of hub genes involved in foam cell formation and atherosclerosis development via bioinformatics [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Background Foam cells play crucial roles in all phases of atherosclerosis. However, until now, the specific mechanisms by which these foam cells contribute to atherosclerosis remain unclear.

Static Compressive Properties of Polypropylene Fiber Foam Concrete with Concave Hexagonal Unit Cell

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
For the purpose of studying the influence of fiber on the negative Poisson’s ratio effect of foam concrete, a concave hexagonal unit cell structure of polypropylene fiber foam concrete was proposed.

Oxysterol efflux from macrophage foam cells: the essential role of acceptor phospholipid

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Oxidized forms of cholesterol (oxysterols) are present in atherosclerotic lesions and may play an active role in lesion development. For example, 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) inhibits cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells induced by apolipoprotein A-I

Nϵ-Carboxymethyl-Lysine Deteriorates Vascular Calcification in Diabetic Atherosclerosis Induced by Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell-Derived Foam Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Nϵ-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), an advanced glycation end product, is involved in vascular calcification (VC) in diabetic atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CML on VC in diabetic atherosclerosis induced by vascular smooth ...

Cholesterol loading suppresses the atheroinflammatory gene polarization of human macrophages induced by colony stimulating factors

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In atherosclerotic lesions, blood-derived monocytes differentiate into distinct macrophage subpopulations, and further into cholesterol-filled foam cells under a complex milieu of cytokines, which also contains macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)

The effect of ox-LDL and platelets on macrophages, M2 macrophage polarization, and foam cell formation [PDF]

open access: yesARYA Atherosclerosis, 2023
Background: The accumulation of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) in macrophages in association with platelet activity leads to the formation of foam cells, which play a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery diseases (CAD).

In-situ full-field deformation analysis of injection-molded microcellular polycarbonate according to foam morphology patterns

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2023
Deformation behavior of microcellular foam materials are sensitive to microstructural details. Therefore, the distinctive foam morphology patterns of foam injection-molded Polycarbonate are identified. These morphology patterns are investigated regarding

Foam dressings: a review of the literature and evaluation of fluid-handling capacity of four leading foam dressings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Posnett and Franks (2008) have calculated that 200,000 people in the UK have a chronic wound, with an estimated treatment cost of between £2.3 billion and £3.1 billion per year.

Evaluation of an external foam column for in situ product removal in aerated surfactin production processes

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
In Bacillus fermentation processes, severe foam formation may occur in aerated bioreactor systems caused by surface-active lipopeptides. Although they represent interesting compounds for industrial biotechnology, their property of foaming excessively ...

Absence of endogenous phospholipid transfer protein impairs ABCA1-dependent efflux of cholesterol from macrophage foam cells

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
In vitro experiments have demonstrated that exogenous phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), i.e. purified PLTP added to macrophage cultures, influences ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux from macrophages to HDL. To investigate whether PLTP produced by the
