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

Polymer 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

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

ARYA 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).

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

Journal 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

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Storage lipid studies in tuberculosis reveal that foam cell biogenesis is disease-specific.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Foam cells are lipid-laden macrophages that contribute to the inflammation and tissue damage associated with many chronic inflammatory disorders. Although foam cell biogenesis has been extensively studied in atherosclerosis, how these cells form during a

Development of Technetium-99m-Labeled BODIPY-Based Probes Targeting Lipid Droplets Toward the Diagnosis of Hyperlipidemia-Related Diseases

Molecules, 2019
Hyperlipidemia causes systemic lipid disorder, which leads to hepatic steatosis and atherosclerosis. Thus, it is necessary to detect these syndromes early and precisely to improve prognosis. In the affected regions, abnormal formation and growth of lipid

Nicotinic acid receptor GPR109A is down-regulated in human macrophage-derived foam cells.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nicotinic acid (NA) regresses atherosclerosis in human imaging studies and reduces atherosclerosis in mice, mediated by myeloid cells, independent of lipoproteins.

Phage display identification of CD100 in human atherosclerotic plaque macrophages and foam cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease in which vessels develop plaques comprising dysfunctional endothelium, monocyte derived lipid laden foam cells and activated lymphocytes. Considering that humans and animal models of the disease develop quite distinct

Phage Display Preparation of Specific Polypeptides in Atherosclerotic Foam Cells

Applied Sciences, 2022
Atherosclerosis and related complications are the most common causes of death in modern societies. Macrophage-derived foam cells play critical roles in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.

Effectiveness Of Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) Red Flesh Extract On Reducing Coronary Artery Foam Cells and Thinning Of The Aortical Intima In Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus strain Wistar) Atherosclerosis Model

Saintika Medika, 2023
Introduction: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a process of narrowing of the lumen of arteries due to progressive plaque buildup. Foam Cell and plaque appear as a result of lipoprotein metabolism disorders which result in inflammatory reactions.
