Yet until now, few studies had examined the cancer-like properties of the cells and if these changes contributed to atherosclerosis. To learn more, Reilly and Pan closely tracked the development of ...

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The antibody-based therapy could complement ...

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The novel therapy uses a lab-generated ...

Researchers have discovered that the smooth muscle cells that line the arteries of people with atherosclerosis can change into new cell types and develop traits similar to cancer that worsen the ...

Cardiologists have spent decades trying to stabilize the fatty plaques that clog arteries, but a new wave of immunotherapy is going after the diseased cells at the heart of the problem. In mice, an ...

Atherosclerosis is driven not only by lipid accumulation but also by dynamic changes in the cells that form the vessel wall. This study reveals that smooth muscle cells, long considered structural ...

DNA damage, stained red, accumulates as atherosclerosis progresses in mouse arteries. NEW YORK, NY--Columbia University researchers have found cells inside clogged arteries share similarities with ...

Atherosclerosis underlies most heart attacks and strokes and is now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease rather than a simple disorder of cholesterol deposition. While immune cells such as ...
