Plaque regression and plaque stabilisation in cardiovascular diseases
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013 Atherosclerosis is characterized by formation of plaques on the inner walls of arteries that threatens to become the leading cause of death worldwide via its sequelae of myocardial infarction and stroke. Endothelial dysfunction leads to cholesterol uptake and accumulation of inflammatory markers within the plaque.

Neuroimaging of the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]
Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015 Plaque vulnerability due to inflammation has been shown to be a participating factor in the degenerative process in the arterial wall that contributes to stenosis and embolism. This is believed to have an important role to play also in the genesis of stroke or cerebrovascular diseases.

A new lipid-structured model to investigate the opposing effects of LDL and HDL on atherosclerotic plaque macrophages [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerotic plaques form in artery walls due to a chronic inflammatory response driven by lipid accumulation. A key component of the inflammatory response is the interaction between monocyte-derived macrophages and extracellular lipid. Although concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood

A Two-Phase Model of Early Atherosclerotic Plaque Development with LDL Toxicity Effects [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory cardiovascular disease in which fatty plaque is built inside an artery wall. Early atherosclerotic plaque development is typically characterized by inflammatory tissues primarily consisting of foam cells and macrophages.

MicroRNAs in the Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2013 BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by hindering translation. miRNA expression profiles have been shown to differ in vivo and in vitro in many cellular processes associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Flow and Deformation in a Multi-Component Arterial Stenosis Model
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011 Arterial stenoses consisting of atherosclerotic plaque are subject to mechanical forces under pulsatile blood flow that may cause plaque rupture, which often leads to heart attack or stroke.

Parallel Network with Channel Attention and Post-Processing for Carotid Arteries Vulnerable Plaque Segmentation in Ultrasound Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Carotid arteries vulnerable plaques are a crucial factor in the screening of atherosclerosis by ultrasound technique. However, the plaques are contaminated by various noises such as artifact, speckle noise, and manual segmentation may be time-consuming.
