Atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the arterial wall, is a ...

Atherosclerosis involves multiple processes including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, vascular proliferation and matrix alteration. Vascular proliferation contributes to the pathobiology of ...

A research team revealed that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 6 (IGFBP6) serves as a potential therapeutic target for suppressing endothelial inflammation and atherosclerosis.

However, its role in endothelial homeostasis and atherosclerosis remained unclear. In this study, the team discovered that IGFBP6 levels were significantly diminished in atherosclerotic plaques ...

This research suggests that IGFBP6 responds to physical forces in blood vessels, helps reduce inflammation, and protects against artery-clogging diseases like atherosclerosis A study published in ...

A research team at Toho University, has revealed that cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, increases the synthesis of hyaluronan in vascular endothelial cells. Their study has also identified that this ...

Atherosclerosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory and metabolic disease and pathologic process characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol and calcium plaque within the arterial wall.

A significant percentage of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) demonstrate coronary artery calcification (CAC) on imaging, with variations by ANCA ...
