#pedscardio @Jhypertension In a population-based cohort followed for 20 years, higher BMI or waist-to-height ratio in childhood was significantly associated with greater cIMT and enhanced levels of proteins reflective of inflammation, supporting the importance of inflammation as progressive #atherosclerosis in childhood adiposity.

Is #atherosclerosis an #autoimmune disease? A team of researchers, led by Andreas J. R. Habenicht at LMU Munich & Changjun Yin at Sun-Yat Sen University, has shed light on this question and opened up potential avenues for new therapeutic interventions. Katrina Woolcock's thorough account of their publication in Nature Cardiovascular Research on https://new-ground.com/en/articles/single-cell-analysis-supports-a-role-for-t-cell-autoimmunity-in-atherosclerosis-and-helps-pave-the-way-for-new-immunotherapies/new-ground.2023.99892
Research in mice in @SciSignal reveals a role for the protein neuropilin-1 in supporting the barrier functions of #EndothelialCells in blood vessels and shows how a lack of the protein might exacerbate vascular diseases such as #atherosclerosis. https://scim.ag/2PH #press

Lance Reddick died of ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. It's a common misconception that only overweight or obese people develop plaque-clogged arteries. It can happen to anyone. 😧

Macrophage #DCLK1 promotes inflammatory #atherosclerosis by directly binding to IKKβ and activating IKKβ/NF-κB signal. #DCLK1 is a new regulator of IKKβ and a potential therapeutic target for #atherosclerosis.

Interesting to note that LC3B in EC +72 h #DisturbedFlow is mostly lipidated (Fig. 4A)
Does this suggest that endothelium under #DisturbedFlow enter an Autophagy-dependent state? For Survival, Shear-sensing & Secretion? 🧐

Laminar #ShearStress reduces plasma leakage and #atheroma formation in atheroprotected regions of the aorta through downstream polarization and endocytosis of VE-PTP and resultant activation of #Tie2. #Atherosclerosis can be suppressed by inhibition of VE-PTP in atheroprone regions that lack VE-PTP sequestration.
