Abnormal macrophage function is a pathophysiological hallmark of atherosclerosis, characterized by the formation of foam cells and the maintenance of vascular inflammation. Mounting evidence supports ...

In atherosclerosis, the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contributes to vessel wall inflammation and lipoprotein retention, as well as to the formation of the fibrous cap that provides stability ...

Mitophagy plays a significant role in the homeostasis and physiological function of vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and macrophages, and is involved in the development of ...

High blood pressure, often called hypertension, is one of the most common health issues affecting older adults. While it may ...

This valuable study provides in-vivo evidence that CCR4 regulates the early inflammatory response during atherosclerotic plaque formation. The authors propose that altered T-cell ... may be an ...

The parallels that our study has shown between bone growth and the formation of atherosclerosis in blood vessels could now be used to test whether agents such as vosoritide may also be used in the ...

Have you ever thought air pollution has adverse effect that’s beyond respiratory issues? Yes, it does and this time this ...

Coronary artery atherosclerosis formation and progression increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes ...
