Autophagic flux is increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in atherosclerotic vascular disease and associates inversely with adverse cardiovascular events

The paper measures autophagic flux in PBMCs of ASVD patients and finds it is elevated and inversely associated with adverse cardiovascular events.

Development of a novel murine model of in-stent neoatherosclerosis

This paper develops and validates a novel murine model of in-stent neoatherosclerosis that replicates human disease characteristics.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Endothelial Cells Drives Greater Vascular Impairment in Females with Diabetes-Associated Peripheral Artery Disease

This study identifies sex-specific mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells of diabetic PAD patients, showing that MitoQ improves vascular function in females.

Reconstituted high-density lipoproteins rescue diabetes-impaired endothelial cell metabolic reprograming and angiogenic responses to hypoxia

This study shows that reconstituted high-density lipoproteins (rHDL) restore impaired PDK4/PDC axis activity and angiogenic responses in diabetic endothelial cells under hypoxia.
