In the Injury Theory, it's damage to the arterial endothelium, followed by platelet activation, then smooth muscle cell migration to injury, then macrophages, with resulting "foam cells." Engorged foam cells burst, starting the injury cycle all over again
The Kuhn Laboratory at TSRI research interest: Making Cancer a Managed Disease...by understanding the clinical significance, molecular mechanisms, and phenotype of circulating tumor cells(CTCs) and their importance in metastasis. Research Topics: Circulating Tumor Cells for Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis; JCIMPT: JCSG Center for Innovative Membrane Protein Technologies; C-ME: Collaborative Molecular Modelling Environment.
New solar cells don't need direct sunlight to operate and use a patented range of dyes that can be impregnated in roofs, window glass and eventually even clothing to produce power.
Results from the first U.S. clinical trial investigating the benefit of using a patient's own (autologous) selected adult stem cells, called CD34+ cells, to treat coronary artery disease are promising.
Statins may act on an enzyme called endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which stimulates nitric oxide production. Increased nitric oxide has anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting effects...
Researchers say circulating mononuclear cells (the largest type of white blood cell) and lymphocytes, exist in a proinflammatory state in obese persons known to be at increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or both.
