Endothelial cannabinoid CB1 receptor deficiency reduces arterial inflammation and lipid uptake in response to atheroprone shear stress

This paper shows that blocking endothelial CB1 receptors reduces arterial inflammation and lipid uptake under atheroprone shear stress, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for atherosclerosis.

Neural CXCR4 contributes to neuroimmune modulation of atherosclerosis in a cardio-metabolic Ldlr-/- mouse model

This study shows that neural CXCR4 reduces atherosclerotic plaque formation in mice without affecting metabolism or immune cells, and identifies MIF-CXCR4 signaling in the PVN as a potential neuroimmune pathway in atherosclerosis.

Non-invasive optoacoustic imaging visualizes exercise-induced dermal revascularization in obese mice

The paper uses optoacoustic imaging to monitor microvascular changes in obese mice during exercise, showing improved vascular density and oxygenation in adipose tissues.
