This study examines how plasma Lp(a) levels and monocyte subsets differ between Black and White individuals using scRNA-seq, finding race modifies associations between Lp(a) and monocyte proportions.

This study identifies ADAMTS7's role in promoting atherosclerosis by enhancing smooth muscle cell foam cell formation via an AP-1/PU.1/CD36 pathway.

This study identifies 25 cellular subsets in thoracic aortic aneurysm tissue and links FGF-23 as a plasma biomarker associated with aortic diameter and disease.

The paper identifies a novel CD26+ fibroblast subpopulation in atherosclerosis using CITE-seq and shows its expansion into fibrous caps during disease progression.

The paper identifies CD200 as a specific marker for vascular smooth muscle cells and their derived cells in atherosclerosis using CITE-seq and validates it across multiple techniques.

The paper uses multimodal single-cell profiling to identify diverse monocyte subtypes and links them to cardiovascular disease risk factors.
