Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM) have discovered a ...

Even brief exposure to tobacco smoke can trigger inflammation, weaken immunity, and raise cancer risk in organs far beyond ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University's Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences conducted a series of experiments using advanced technologies, focusing on the tumor microenvironment in advanced stages ...

Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to vascular collapse. Individuals with ...

Endothelial cells and macrophages are 2 key cell types in the atherosclerotic plaque and their inflammation and injury contributes to the formation and progression of atherosclerosis. 3,5 Since our ...

The chitosan-based nanostructures are widely studied cationic carriers for endothelium penetration such as the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and sinusoidal endothelial barrier (SEB). The phenylboronic ...

iNOS was increased in HG-induced M1-polarized macrophages; conversely, Arg-1 was decreased. Macrophage pellets after HG stimulation can impair endothelial cell (EC) function by inhibiting cell ...

Figure 2 Endothelial pro-inflammatory mRNA expression in EA.hy926 cells and HUVECs incubated for 24 h with macrophage-conditioned media. THP-1–derived unpolarized, M1-like, and M2-like macrophages ...

Objective—Endothelial outgrowth cells (EOC) decrease inflammation and improve endothelial repair. Inflammation aggravates kidney injury in renal artery stenosis (RAS), and may account for its persist ...
