Not getting enough physical activity and eating an unhealthy diet are also big contributors. If you don’t move enough, it’s ...

BACKGROUND: Oscillatory shear stress (OSS), resulting from disturbed blood flow, is implicated in atherosclerotic plaque formation by incompletely understood mechanisms. This study aims to elucidate ...

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

Diabetes accelerates the development of atherosclerosis, increasing the incidence of cardiovascular events. In atherosclerosis, immune cells called macrophages release molecules such as chemokines and ...

Engineered BiTE molecule draws T cells to eliminate FAP+ modulated smooth muscle cells, reducing plaque burden across mouse atherosclerosis models.

To the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight and obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity - a new one has to be added: clonal ...

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 ...

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The antibody-based therapy could complement ...
