Molecular Mediators of Macrophage Foam Cell Formation and Atherosclerosis and their Pharmacological Modification
… of cholesterol-laden macrophages, called foam cells. Uncontrolled inflammation in plaques makes them “unstable” and vulnerable to rupture and thrombosis, which causes complications, such as myocardial infarction (MI) in the case of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Current …

Pengaruh lama stres dan diet atherogenik terhadap pembentukan foam cell arteri cerbral otak tikus (Rattus norvegicus) jantan galur sprague dawley
… yang nantinya berkembang menjadi sel busa (foam cell) dan dapat menyumbat pembuluh darah arteri cerebral otak atau disebut juga dengan penyakit stroke (Cerebro Vascular Acident). Kelebihan kadar kolesterol juga berakibat pada tingginya kadar kolesterol total dan trigliserida serum darah. …

Pengaruh lama stres dan diet atherogenik terhadap pembentukan foam cell pada arteri koroner jantung tikus putih (Ratus norvegicus galur Sprague Dawley) jantan
… disebut plak (plaque) atau kerak terdiri dari foam cell atau sel busa, pada proses perkembangannya dapat menyempitkan luas penampang arteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh stres dan diet atherogenik terhadap perkembangan foam cell tikus putih (R. norvegicus galur Sprague …

Chlamydia pneumoniae, Toll-like Receptors and Pathogenesis of Atherosclerotic Heart Disease
… pneumoniae</em> is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that induces macrophage foam cell formation, a hallmark of early atherosclerosis, in the presence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a central role for macrophages to detect pathogens and …

Investigating iPSC-Derived Macrophage Stimulation with Oxidised Low-Density Lipoprotein as an Effective In Vitro Model of Foam Cells in Atherosclerosis
… Macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial wall respond by ingesting large quantities of the modified lipoproteins, such as oxidised low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs), which are then metabolised to release cholesterol and cholesterol esters for use or recycling. …

Platelet adhesion in atherogenesis
… This was achieved by incubating endothelial cells with high concentrations of glucose and various types of AGEs. Bovine serum albumin of different purity, a peptide of albumin, and haemoglobin were glycated with D-glucose. Samples were taken at 2 weeks intervals to allow for determining the …

The use of coated micropowders to reduce radiation heat transfer in foam insulation
Polyurethane foam is the most effective insulation currently available for buildings. Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) blowing agents, which have low thermal conductivities, contribute highly to the effectiveness of this insulation. However, CFC blowing agents are being phased out because they are …

A Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Model for Vascular Aging
… of atherosclerosis. In particular, endothelial cell senescence is implicated in age-related changes in vasoreactivity. Oxidative stress is considered the primary source of endothelial cell (EC) senescence in vivo. EC senescence leads to abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, …

Crosstalk between CX3CL1 and the Cytoskeleton during Vascular Inflammation
… a fundamental guiding principle underlying many cellular processes. By creating and stabilizing diffusional barriers, the cytoskeleton can precisely regulate the association or dissociation of molecules in both time and space, ultimately dictating the signalling output of a cell. In this …

Hyperinsulinemia and Hyperglycemia Contribute to Diabetic Complications Through Cytokine Resistance and Altered Macrophage Function
… giving rise to an increased propensity for foam cell development. Importantly, both chronic inflammation and the generation of foam cells are correlated with the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and therefore may play an important role in diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis.

The dynamics of two-dimensional foams.
… on the structure and dynamics of two-dimensional foams. New experimental results are presented and new algorithms developed to study foam dynamics with particular emphasis on foams that evolve with significant rupture. In the introduction, basic principles and statistical properties of …

Studying Myeloid Cell Heterogeneity After Spinal Cord Injury via Time-Resolved Single-Cell RNA Sequencing
… resident microglia and infiltrating myeloid cells. However, the precise role of these myeloid cell subsets remains unclear as upon crossing the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB), infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages may take on the morphology of microglia, and upregulate canonical …

Studies of Atherosclerosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
… that while there was no in vitro difference in foam cell formation or clearance of apoptotic cells, there was increased TNFalpha, IL-12p40, IL-6, MCP-1, and IL-10 gene expression in response to six hours of 100 ng/ml of LPS treatment independent of 1 x 10 ^ -9 M 17beta-estradiol treatment. Our …

Characterization of zein extracted from beer solids, a coproduct of dry-grind ethanol
… applications as tissue scaffolding, to enhance cell spreading and viability. Coproducts of corn-to-ethanol processing remain potential sources of zein. Distillers’ wet grains (DWG) a coproduct of dry grind ethanol contain about 40% (db) protein, where 50% of the protein is zein. Attempts to …

Mechanical response of polyether polyurethane foams under multiaxial stress and the initial yielding of ultrathin films
… response of elastic polyether polyurethane (EPP) foams by means of experiments, theory, and modeling. The experiments include five loading cases: uniaxial compression along the rise direction; uniaxial compression along two mutually perpendicular transverse directions; uniaxial tension along the …
