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)

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

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).

Black Hole Entropy: a spacetime foam approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The spacetime foam structure is reviewed briefly (topogical fluctuations and virtual black hole possibility; equation of state of the foam). A model of space foam at the surface of the event horizon is introduced.

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

Semi-flexible Additive Manufacturing Materials for Modularization Purposes - A modular assembly proposal for a foam edge-based spatial framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper introduces a series of design and fabrication tests directed towards the use of bendable 3D printing materials in order to simplify a foam bubble-based geometry as a frame structure for modular assembly.

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 ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesMolecules, 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

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

open access: yesPLoS 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
