Taurine treatment significantly decreased plaque areas in the carotid artery, reduced Masson's Trichrome staining, and lowered the ratio of anti-α-SMA to anti-CD68 staining in ApoE −/− mice.

Inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques is one of the main drivers of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which frequently leads to clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

The new knowledge about genetic influence on plaque cells can be used together with modern diagnostic imaging and AI to make ...

Atherosclerotic plaque formation constitutes a net matrix deposition, in part mediated by VSMC migration and proliferation. Until now the evidence for MMP-2 activation and MMP-9 upregulation ...

From this cohort, 421 (60%) patients had a CMA >0, indicating high coronary atherosclerotic plaque activity, and the remaining 283 (40%) had a CMA of 0, indicating low activity. The participants ...

An important mechanism responsible for the sudden and unpredictable onset of acute thrombosis is plaque rupture. [1] The risk of rupture depends more on the plaque's composition rather than its ...
