A Two-Phase Model of Early Fibrous Cap Formation in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Atherosclerotic plaque growth is characterised by chronic inflammation that promotes accumulation of cellular debris and extracellular fat in the inner artery wall. This material is highly thrombogenic, and plaque rupture can lead to the formation of blood clots that occlude major arteries and cause myocardial infarction or stroke. In advanced plaques,

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.

Restoration of human tooth enamel
BMEMat, EarlyView.Human tooth enamel has remarkable properties but lacks self‐repair ability. Existing restorative materials cannot fully replicate enamel's microstructure and function, resulting in low restorative efficiency. This review summarizes the formation process and characteristics of enamel, and current restorative materials and future research directions are ...

A Multiphase Model of Growth Factor-Regulated Atherosclerotic Cap Formation [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Atherosclerosis is characterised by the growth of fatty plaques in the inner (intimal) layer of the artery wall. In mature plaques, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are recruited from the adjacent medial layer to deposit a cap of fibrous collagen over the fatty plaque core.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2016 Objective— Inflammatory monocytes/macrophages produce various proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases, and degradation of the extracellular matrix by these activated proteinases weakens the mechanical strength of atherosclerotic plaques, which ...

The wingspan suspension approach: A modified semilunar technique for multiple areas of recession
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Gingival recession can be considered an undesirable condition that results in the exposure of the root surface. There are many techniques that can be employed to address gingival recession; however, they frequently involve a second surgical site.

The Ongoing Quest to Predict Plaque Rupture
JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 Many plant ion channels have been identified, but little is known about how these transporters are regulated. We have investigated the regulation of a slow vacuolar (SV) ion channel in the tonoplast of barley aleurone storage protein vacuoles (SPV) using the patch-clamp technique.

Putative Murine Models of Plaque Rupture [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007 To be useful, animal models for human diseases must be well defined.1 Thus we are concerned that investigators will be mislead by the definitions and terminology used by Jackson et al1a to describe putative plaque rupture models in mice. We are especially concerned with their use of “acute plaque rupture” to describe murine lesions that do not mimic ...

Effect of suturing in root coverage via coronally advanced flaps: A systematic review
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background To analyze the evidence about the influence of the suturing technique and material in terms of the percentage of mean root coverage (%MRC) following root coverage therapy in teeth diagnosed with single/localized gingival recession defects (GRD) via a monolaminar coronally advanced flap. Methods The protocol of this systematic review
