Two Views on Plaque Rupture [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007 Plaque rupture probably is the most important cause of myocardial infarction. Plaque rupture is thought to be precipitated by proteases that attack a weakened fibrous cap overlying an inflamed atherosclerotic plaque. Obviously, plaque rupture is of major interest for atherosclerosis researchers and a major target for development of therapy in the ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Simultaneous utilization of calix[4]pyrrole‐ and crown ether‐based molecular recognition allows the construction of a high molecular weight alternating supramolecular polymer. This heat processible polymer can be used as a durable and reusable adhesive on glass and steel with temperature‐enhanced adhesion strength without the need for a solvent ...

Can OCT change the therapeutic strategy in ACS due to plaque erosion?
Indian Heart Journal, 2021 The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes was thought to be coronary thrombosis over a plaque rupture. Autopsy studies revealed that not all cases were due to plaque rupture, even denuded endothelium or calcific nodule can beget a thrombus ...

Involvement of Serum Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in the Pathogenesis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Central Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016 Objectives: Prior studies indicate that matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays a key role in pathogenesis of plaque rupture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the involvement of serum MMP-9 enzyme at pathogenesis of the plaque rupture in ...

Role Of Metalloproteinases in Plaque Rupture
International Journal of Gerontology, 2007 SUMMARYRupture of the fibrous cap over an atherosclerotic plaque is the main cause of myocardial infarctions and strokes. Plaques vulnerable to rupture have a relatively thin fibrous cap, are highly inflamed and contain less structural collagen. This suggests that increased production of proteases, including metalloproteinases (MMPs), in response to ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
