Lipopolysaccharide-induced gene expression in murine macrophages is enhanced by prior exposure to oxLDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Uptake of modified lipoproteins by macrophages results in the formation of foam cells. We investigated how foam cell formation affects the inflammatory response of macrophages. Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages were treated with oxidized LDL (oxLDL)

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Foam Cell Macrophages in Tuberculosis

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.

Mitochondrial Transplantation Enhances Phagocytic Function and Decreases Lipid Accumulation in Foam Cell Macrophages

Biomedicines, 2022
Macrophages have mechanisms for eliminating cholesterol from cells. If excess cholesterol is not eliminated from the macrophages, then transformation into a foam cell may occur.

Tailored Hierarchical Porous Copper Architectures via Three Dimensional Printing and Pressure‐less Sintering for Next‐Generation Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchical porous copper current collector is fabricated via three‐dimensional printing combined with pressureless sintering to stabilize lithium metal anodes. The interconnected architecture lowers local current density, guides uniform Li deposition within pores, and suppresses dendrite growth.

Electrochemistry‐Based Assay for Monitoring of Adherent Macrophages and Foam Cells on Ab‐CD36 Modified Electrospun Nanofibers

Advanced Materials Interfaces
Atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks, is a chronic inflammatory disease marked by the accumulation of lipid‐laden foam cells and immune cells in the arterial wall.

Targeting foam cell formation in inflammatory brain diseases by the histone modifier MS‐275

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Objective To assess class I‐histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on formation of lipid‐accumulating, disease‐promoting phagocytes upon myelin load in vitro, relevant for neuroinflammatory disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) and cerebral X‐linked ...

Curcumin attenuates inflammation of Macrophage-derived foam cells treated with Poly-L-lactic acid degradation via PPARγ signaling pathway

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2022
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is considered to be a promising candidate material for biodegradable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Macrophage Foam Cell–Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and Adhesion

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundA new mechanism for intercellular communication has recently emerged that involves intercellular transfer of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Several studies have indicated that EVs may play a potential role in cell‐to‐cell communication between ...
