The pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction is known to be mediated by systemic,
intraplaque and myocardial inflammatory processes. Among different immune cell subsets …

Based on the importance of inflammation in atherogenesis, recent work has focused on
whether plasma markers of inflammation can noninvasively diagnose and prognosticate …

Platelets and lymphocytes reciprocally regulate mutual functions, ie, platelet–lymphocyte
cross-talk. The heterotypic interactions have emerged as important regulatory mechanisms …

Although the understanding of the underlying pathology of atherosclerosis has improved in
recent years, the disease is still the main cause of death globally. Current evidence has …

Atherosclerosis is a disease of arteries and is characterized by endothelial dysfunction,
vascular inflammation, and the build-up of lipids, cholesterol, calcium, and cellular debris …

Undoubtedly, platelets are key elements in the regulation of thrombosis and haemostasis.
Along with their primary task to prevent blood loss from injured vessels, platelets have …

Adult bone marrow and peripheral blood contain sub-populations of vascular precursor
cells, which can differentiate into mature endothelial cells and have therefore been …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of neutrophil
gelatinase–associated lipocalin (NGAL) in a large population of patients with ST-segment …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the combined usefulness of platelet-to-
lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting the long-term …

OBJECTIVES: We characterized the transcriptional profiles of GM-CSF-(GM-MØ) and M-CSF-
induced macrophages (M-MØ) and investigated in situ a subset of differentially expressed …
