Advanced Detection and Therapeutic Monitoring of Atherosclerotic Plaque Using CD36-Targeted Lipid Core Probe

Pharmaceutics
Background: Atherosclerotic diseases, including coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular condition marked by the accumulation of lipid plaque within

Femoral Artery Atherosclerosis Is Associated With Physical Function Across the Spectrum of the Ankle-Brachial Index: The San Diego Population Study. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundThe ankle-brachial index (ABI) is inadequate to detect early-stage atherosclerotic disease, when interventions to prevent functional decline may be the most effective.

High shear stress induces atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation through angiogenesis

Regenerative Biomaterials, 2016
Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques causing thrombosis is the main cause of acute coronary syndrome and ischemic strokes. Inhibition of thrombosis is one of the important tasks developing biomedical materials such as intravascular stents and vascular ...

ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE OF RENAL VASA RECTA ON PATIENT WITH CALCIUM STONE

Jurnal Urologi Indonesia, 2013
Objective: We would like to identify whether atherosclerotic plaque inside renal vasa recta correlates with the formation of calcium stone. Material & Method: Samples are taken from kidney tissue removed by nephrectomy due to stone and non-stone disease.

Angiotensin II as an Inducer of Atherosclerosis: Evidence from Mouse Studies [PDF]

, 2013
Mechanisms responsible for atherosclerotic plaque development, destabilization, and rupture are still largely unknown. Angiotensin II, the main bioactive peptide of renin angiotensin system, has been shown to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of

Mechanical Interactions Impact the Functions of Immune Cells and Their Application in Immunoengineering

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This review covers the mechanical forces experienced by immune cells through cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions and how these forces influence their receptors and functions. These relationships between forces and cellular functions can be exploited using engineering techniques to modify the physical properties of materials for novel ...

Angiogenesis within atherosclerotic plaques: Mechanical regulation, molecular mechanism and clinical diagnosis

Mechanobiology in Medicine
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disease characterized by focal cholesterol accumulation and insoluble inflammation in arterial intima, leading to the formation of an atherosclerotic plaque consisting of lipids, cells, and fibrous matrix. The presence of plaque
