White Matter Lesion Asymmetry and Carotid Intraplaque Hemorrhage: A Novel Imaging Phenotype for Stroke Risk in Older Men

This study identifies carotid intraplaque hemorrhage as an independent predictor of asymmetric white matter lesion pathology in older men, highlighting a novel imaging marker for stroke risk.

Preclinical Evaluation of a Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent for Intracranial Application: A 30-Day GLP Canine Study

This study evaluates the safety and feasibility of a zotarolimus-eluting stent in a GLP-compliant canine model for intracranial use, showing 100% procedural success and no clinical adverse events at 30 days.

Proteomics and Ex Vivo Plaque Culture Identify the Insulin-Like Growth Factor Axis as a Regulator of Carotid Plaque Stability

The paper identifies the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis as a regulator of carotid plaque stability through proteomic analysis and ex vivo culture experiments.

Identification of biomarkers for ulcerative morphology in carotid atherosclerosis plaques through single-cell RNA sequencing data

The paper identifies biomarkers for ulcerative carotid atherosclerosis plaques using single-cell RNA sequencing data and functional analysis.

Composition of Carotid Plaques Differs Between Chinese and United States Patients: A Histology Study

This study compares histological features of carotid plaques between Chinese and U.S. patients, finding differences in lipid pools, intraplaque hemorrhage, and fibrous cap disruptions.

Proteomic profiling of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque in the human brain

This study uses proteomic profiling of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques to identify differentially expressed proteins associated with ICAD, revealing potential biomarkers and biological pathways involved in the disease.
