Aged garlic extract reduces low attenuation plaque in coronary arteries of patients with diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. [PDF]
Several previous studies have demonstrated that aged garlic extract (AGE) inhibits the progression of coronary artery calcification and non-calcified plaque (NCP) in the general population.

The Myth of the Mild Vulnerable Plaques
Few core concepts introduced in the past several decades have become more ingrained in the psyche of the cardiologist such as the belief that coronary occlusion and myocardial infarction most frequently evolve from a mildly stenotic coronary artery disease [(1)][1].

Seeing inside the Body Using Wearable Sensing and Imaging Technologies
This review explores wearable technologies for noninvasive internal health monitoring. It categorizes approaches into indirect sensing (e.g., bioelectrical and biochemical signals) and direct imaging (e.g., wearable ultrasound and EIT), highlighting multimodal integration and system‐level innovation toward personalized, continuous healthcare.

This work has developed a dual enzyme‐mimicking and ultrasound‐responsive Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG nanozyme. ROS‐eliminating and antiinflammatory capability of Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG under US irradiation are demonstrated on macrophages and endothelial cells in vitro. Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG‐mediated sonocatalytic therapy exerts an outstanding anti‐atherosclerosis efficacy by ...

Adiponectin and Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaques
High-risk plaques that are vulnerable to rupture demonstrate distinct morphological characteristics. They are differentiated from the lesions responsible for stable coronary artery disease by their large necrotic cores, thin-inflamed fibrous caps, and positive remodeling.

Amyloid‐Mediated Remineralization for the Prevention of White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Treatments
This study introduces phase‐transitioned lysozyme (PTL) coatings that trigger layer‐by‐layer hydroxyapatite growth on enamel. The PTL‐induced mineral shield mimics natural enamel structure, providing robust acid resistance and mechanical protection. Acting as a sacrificial barrier, it prevents biofilm‐induced demineralization and enables self‐repair ...
