International Atherosclerosis Society Issues New White Paper Underscoring Inflammation's Role, Offering Key Recommendations

DAIC

The International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS) has released a clinical proceedings white paper outlining the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis and the importance of early intervention. Systemic, chronic inflammation can also promote the advancement of atherosclerosis and increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Potential biomarkers and immune characteristics for polycythemia vera-related atherosclerosis using bulk RNA and single-cell RNA datasets: a combined comprehensive bioinformatics and machine learning analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Atherosclerosis (AS) can markedly increase the risk of arterial thrombosis in patients with PV. The expression of potential biomarkers was validated using an external dataset. Subsequently, we used single-cell gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to analyze the immune signaling pathways associated with potential biomarkers.

Identification of key genes for cuproptosis in carotid atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide, while carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is more likely to cause ischemic cerebrovascular events. Emerging evidence suggests that cuproptosis may be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

The translational potential of miR-26 in atherosclerosis and development of agents for its target genes ACC1/2, COL1A1, CPT1A, FBP1, DGAT2, and SMAD7

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. miR-26 is a potential biomarker of atherosclerosis. Standardized diagnostic tests for miR-26 (MIR26-DX) have been developed, but the fastest pro.

Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a widespread disorder of the cardiovascular system. EVs were isolated from serum by precipitation.
