Combined data from LDL composition and size measurement are compatible with a discoid particle shape

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The size of LDL is usually reported as particle diameter, with the implicit assumption that it is a spherical particle. On the other hand, data obtained by cryoelectron microscopy and crystallographic analysis suggest that LDL shape may be discoid.

Mr BMT Achieves Systemic Macrophage Replacement With Preservation of Tissue Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microglia replacement by bone marrow transplantation (Mr BMT) enables systemic replacement of tissue‐resident macrophages. Despite persistent macrophage and tissue remodeling across multiple organs, core biological functions and innate immune responses remain preserved, supporting long‐term maintenance of organismal homeostasis and the therapeutic ...

Discordance Between Very Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Increases Cardiovascular Disease Risk in a Geographically Defined Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Clinical risk scores are used to identify those at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Despite preventative efforts, residual risk remains for many individuals.
