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

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

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

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
