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 ...

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.

CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. Researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway -- with therapeutic potential. CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU ...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of lipids and immune cells in arterial ...

Atherosclerosis is the build-up of fatty material (such as cholesterol), fibrous material and calcium). The build-up forms an atheroma (degeneration of the walls of the arteries) under the ...

Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease, a significant risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, and other serious health ...

CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway - with therapeutic potential. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of life-threatening ...

Clin Lipidology. 2012;7(3):329-343. Lipid therapies are often developed based on the expected mechanistic action to change cholesterol metabolism and, thus, impact the atherosclerosis process.

Atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and inflammatory cells in the arterial wall, is a significant cause of cardiovascular events. A key process in ...

Socioeconomic advantages can slow down the aging process in ways that can be seen in blood tests and disease risk over time, scientists say.
