Although the entire coronary tree is exposed to the atherogenic effect of the systemic risk
factors, atherosclerotic lesions form at specific arterial regions, where low and oscillatory …

To date, numerous inorganic nanocarriers have been explored for drug delivery systems
(DDSs). However, the clinical application of inorganic formulations has often been hindered …

Mammalian biology adapts to physical activity but the molecular mechanisms sensing the
activity remain enigmatic. Recent studies have revealed how Piezo1 protein senses …

The heterogeneity of plaque formation, the vascular remodelling response to plaque
formation, and the consequent phenotype of plaque instability attest to the extraordinarily …

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world.
Inflammation and blood flow alterations are new markers emerging as possible …

This book is written in a quick reference style to help clinical and basic researchers, as well

Atherosclerosis results in the narrowing of arterial blood vessels and this causes significant
changes in the endogenous shear stress between healthy and constricted arteries …

Atherosclerosis and intracranial saccular aneurysms predictably localize in areas with
complex arterial geometries such as bifurcations and curvatures. These sites are …
