An integrated analysis of human carotid plaque transcriptomes and macrophage experiments suggests that elevated BCAP31 in ...

A focused review finds that cGAS–STING and AIM2 claims in atherosclerosis depend on the DNA source, cellular lineage, disease ...

Researchers show that genetic traits influence the cellular composition of atherosclerotic plaques, which over time will affect the risk of such lesions to cause a stroke or heart attack. The new ...

Medically reviewed byJimmy Almond, M.D. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which a sticky substance called plaque builds up inside the arteries, causing them to narrow and harden.

Newswise — Atherosclerosis underlies most heart attacks and strokes and is now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease rather than a simple disorder of cholesterol deposition. While immune cells ...

The drug significantly decreased the size of the atherosclerotic plaques and improved plaque stability (stable plaques reduce the odds of having a heart attack). "This suggests that cancer drugs like ...

A new study has investigated the mechanisms by which the receptor TREM2 affects atherosclerosis and a possible therapeutic approach using an agonistic TREM2 antibody. Atherosclerosis is a chronic ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have created an "atlas of atherosclerosis" that reveals, at the level of individual cells, critical processes responsible for forming the harmful ...

Some research suggests that people with multiple sclerosis are at a higher risk of atherosclerosis. An increased risk hasn’t been established, and we don’t know how MS might increase the risk. Having ...
