Oxidative Stress and Coronary Plaque Stability [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2002 Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the vascular wall is a characteristic feature of disease states, including atherosclerosis, diabetes and hypertension. ROS, such as superoxide, reduce nitric oxide bioactivity by scavenging and cause oxidation of lipids and target proteins. In addition, recent work has revealed that ROS mediate a

Critical appraisal on mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 272-280, December 2022., 2022 Amyloid plaques deposit on neurons in case of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondria play a vital role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to formation of mPTP, alteration of complexes 1,3 and 4, deficits in bioenergetics with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis. Abstract It is widely recognized that Alzheimer's disease (

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

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.VASP was found to be overexpressed in metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues. Notably, PTTG1‐ and VASP‐deficient OSCC cells demonstrated suppressed metastatic properties by disrupting the interaction between the cytoskeleton and focal adhesion (FAs) in the filopodia region.

Stability Analysis of a Model of Atherosclerotic Plaque Growth [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2015 Atherosclerosis, the formation of life-threatening plaques in blood vessels, is a form of cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we analyze a simplified model of plaque growth to derive physically meaningful results about the growth of plaques. In particular, the main results of this paper are two conditions, which express that the immune response ...

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.
