Markers and mechanisms of pre-eclampsia in pregnancies complicated by diabetes
… aim of this thesis was to investigate whether modified lipoproteins and/or elevated glucose have a role in pre-eclampsia in pregnancies complicated by diabetes.<br/><br/>Trophoblast cell lines HTR8/SVneo and JAR were exposed to native LDL (N-LDL) vs. ‘highly-oxidized glycated’ LDL (HOG-LDL) …

Investigating iPSC-Derived Macrophage Stimulation with Oxidised Low-Density Lipoprotein as an Effective In Vitro Model of Foam Cells in Atherosclerosis
… 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. Chronic uptake of modified particles eventually reduces the ability of …

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells and neutrophils : underestimated cell populations during the onset of atherosclerosis
… secretion. Thus, chronic stimulation of pDCs by modified lipoproteins and autoimmune mechanisms may critically drive inflammation in atherosclerosis.
