The impact of lipid-lowering medications on coronary artery plaque characteristics
American Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2021 Atherosclerosis is the predominant cause of coronary artery disease. The last several decades have witnessed significant advances in lipid-lowering therapies, which comprise a central component of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease prevention.

Macrophage heterogeneity in atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2009 The varied behaviour of macrophages and foam cells during atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae prompt the question whether all these activities can be the property of a single cell population.Subsets of monocytes with distinct patterns of surface markers and behaviours during inflammation have recently been characterized and shown to have ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...
