Although safe in most cases, ancient treatments are ignored because neither their active
component nor their molecular targets are well defined. This is not the case, however, with …

Cells convey information among one another. One instrument employed to transmit data and
constituents to specific (target) cells is extracellular vesicles (EVs). They originate from a …

Cardiovascular diseases are the human diseases with the highest death rate and
atherosclerosis is one of the major underlying causes of cardiovascular diseases …

Atherosclerosis may be more prevalent and more extensive in individuals with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) compared with the general population. Despite the fact that traditional and …

Aim The current investigation focused on the therapeutic role of the administration of taurine
on hypertensive rats to reduce or cure the hazard effects of hypertension problems …

Background Atherosclerotic plaques indicate the occurrence of ischemia events and it is a
difficult task for clinical physicians. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) has been …

We explored the associations between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)
level and carotid atherosclerosis with all phenotypes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

The marked differences in individual response to dietary factors have led to major
controversies in nutrition and puzzled nutrition scientists over the last century. The emerging …

Most finite element models of atherosclerotic arteries do not account for the heterogeneity of
the plaque constituents at the microscale. Failure of plaque lesions has been shown to be a …

We examine how aging is influenced by various chemical challenges that organisms face
and by the molecular mechanisms that have evolved to modulate life span in response to …
