Accumulating evidence suggests that the immune system plays a crucial role in the emergence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular ...

A small study found that fatty buildup in the blood vessels of the neck (carotid arteries) may contain 50 times or more micronanoplastics — minuscule bits of plastic — compared to arteries free of ...

Clark is trying to get funding to further study interactions between microplastics and immune cells in the walls of blood vessels. He hopes to expand this research beyond the carotid artery and ...

A study has found that the gene CXCL12 is connected to this artery’s formation and that its directional pattern is set very early in human development. The findings, reported in the journal Cell, ...

That's also what befell service members and residents living near North Carolina's Fort Bragg and hundreds of other military sites across the country, where PFAS from firefighting foam has made ...

These variants, also known as mutations, can happen during cell division ... Body pillows and super-dense foam mattresses can help provide support and cushioning for joints.

This makes them more easily dispersed and able to penetrate cells and tissues in living organisms. Researchers suggest that terminology should gradually transition to nanoplastics because that is more ...

During atherogenesis, macrophages turn into foam cells by engulfing lipids present within the atheroma plaques. The shift of foam cells toward proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes, a ...
