The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Peli1 Deficiency Promotes Atherosclerosis Progression
Cells, 2022 Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the main cause of death and morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests that ubiquitination plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis including control of vascular ...

Quasi-static responses of marine mussel plaques attached to deformable wet substrates under directional tensions [PDF]
, 2023 Quantifying the response of marine mussel plaque attachment on wet surfaces remains a significant challenge to a mechanistic understanding of plaque adhesion. Here, we developed a customised microscopy system combined with two-dimensional (2D) in-situ digital image correlation (DIC) to quantify the in-plane deformation of a deformable substrate that ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundNK2 homeobox 5 (Nkx2‐5) is a cardiac homeobox transcription factor that is expressed in a broad range of cardiac sublineages. Embryos lacking Nkx2‐5 are nonviable attributed to growth retardation and gross abnormalities of the heart.

Dynamical Model of Mild Atherosclerosis: Applied Mathematical Aspects [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease occurs due to plaque accumulation in the inner artery wall. In atherosclerotic plaque formation monocytes and macrophages play a significant role in controlling the disease dynamics. In the present article, the entire biochemical process of atherosclerotic plaque formation is presented in terms of an ...

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture – pathologic basis of plaque stability and instability [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 1999 Time for primary reveiw 27 days Atherosclerosis continues to be one of the main subjects in pathology research. The intriguing complexity of its pathogenesis as well as the importance of its clinical sequelae provide a rationale for this [1]. A large number of diseases with totally different clinical presentations are basically atherosclerosis ...

Wall Shear Stress Analysis in Stenosed Carotid Arteries with Different Shapes of Plaque [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Applications, Volume 145, No.4,
July 2016, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a disease caused due to formation of plaque into the artery. Increase in plaque affects the wall shear stress. The present study is performed to calculate wall shear stress in different geometries of stenosed carotid artery. A 2D model of different geometries is generated using CFD for Non- Newtonian model.

Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Segmenting dental plaque from images of medical reagent staining provides valuable information for diagnosis and the determination of follow-up treatment plan. However, accurate dental plaque segmentation is a challenging task that requires identifying teeth and dental plaque subjected to semantic-blur regions (i.e., confused boundaries in border ...
