Reprogramming Human Inflammatory Macrophages in Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Potential Mechanisms for Stabilisation of Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaques

This study examines macrophage phenotypes in carotid plaques and shows glucocorticoids can reprogram macrophages to reduce inflammation and lipid uptake, potentially stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques.

N-Terminal proteomics reveals distinct protein degradation patterns in different types of human atherosclerotic plaques

This study uses N-terminal proteomics to identify distinct protein degradation patterns in human atherosclerotic plaques, revealing differences associated with plaque stability and potential biomarkers.

An Oscillatory Shear Index-based Model to Describe Progressive Carotid Artery Stenosis

This paper introduces a computational model using oscillatory shear index to simulate progressive carotid artery stenosis and demonstrates its applicability in 11 patient-derived cases.

Family history and polygenic risk of cardiovascular disease: independent factors associated with secondary cardiovascular manifestations in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy

This study examines the association between family history and polygenic risk scores with secondary cardiovascular events in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, finding both factors independently increase risk.

Association Between The Posterior Part Of The Circle Of Willis And Vertebral Artery Hypoplasia

The paper examines the association between vertebral artery hypoplasia and variations in the posterior part of the circle of Willis in individuals without stroke or TIA.
