Atherosclerosis arises from chronic inflammation, lipid accumulation and vascular remodelling within arterial walls. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that fine-tune gene expression, ...
The vasa vasorum constitute a delicate microvascular network within the adventitial layer of large arteries and veins, responsible for nourishing the outer vessel wall. In early atherogenesis, hypoxia ...
The study investigates the role of the deubiquitinase OTUB1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the context of atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by lipid accumulation and plaque ...
Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have shown that 18 FDG-PET, an imaging technique widely used to study other conditions, can also be used to monitor ...
Investigations of the genetic basis of coronary artery disease have led to advances in mechanistic insights, therapeutics, prevention, and risk prediction. Indeed, most contemporary medicines for ...
Blocked arteries (atherosclerosis) happen when fatty plaques build up along artery walls, slowing blood flow and forcing your heart to work harder. This can lead to potentially fatal complications ...
