Macrophage-derived CCL20 promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm progression via lymphocytes CCR6
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a chronic vascular disease marked by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. The C-C motif chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) - C-C motif chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6) axis modulates immune responses in ...

Vascular network segmentation: an unsupervised approach [PDF]
, 2012 Micro-tomography produces high resolution images of biological structures such as vascular networks. In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting vascular network into pathological and normal regions from considering their micro-vessel 3D ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

COUP-TFII-mediated reprogramming of the vascular endothelium counteracts tumor immune evasion
Nature CommunicationsT cell scarcity in tumor tissues poses a critical challenge to cancer immunotherapy. Here we manipulate the tumor vasculature, an essential regulator of immune cell trafficking, to reinvigorate anti-tumor T cell responses in “cold” tumors.
