#ExpertAnswers: Michael Sturek on Macrovascular Atherosclerosis and Microvascular Dysfunction
Michael Sturek reviews features of macrovascular atherosclerosis and microvascular dysfunction that underlie ischemic events and the need for appropriate animal models for optimal translation.
Orphan Receptor GPR55: A New Therapeutic Target for Atherosclerosis?
Since the role of GPR55 in adaptive B cell response regulation has not yet been reported in the context of atherosclerosis, Guillamat-Prats et al. have investigated how GPR55 in B cells affects atherosclerosis development. In this blog post, we highlight the main findings from this study, which was published this month in Nature Cardiovascular Research.
Cardiometabolic Disease Pathophysiology & Novel Therapies for Atherosclerosis & Calcification
In this webinar, Dr. Michael Sturek reviews features of macrovascular atherosclerosis and microvascular dysfunction that underly ischemic events and the need for appropriate animal models for optimal translation.
#ExpertAnswers: Mariana Kaplan on Inflammation and Immunophysiology
Mariana Kaplan highlights the role of systemic autoimmunity in the development of vasculopathy and atherosclerosis and discussing potential strategies to prevent these complications.
#ExpertAnswers: Edward Bahnson on Light-sheet Fluorescence Microscopy and Vascular Injury
Edward Bahnson, PhD presents the development and validation of a methodological approach using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) for the imaging of preclinical models of vascular injury with a focus of minimizing analysis bias while increasing precision and reproducibility.
