Endothelial cells (ECs) are sentinels of cardiovascular health. Their function is reduced by
the presence of cardiovascular risk factors, and is regained once pathological stimuli are …

Extracellular vesicles originate from diverse subcellular compartments and are released in
the extracellular space. By transferring their cargoes into target cells and tissues, they now …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are well-established mediators of cell-to-cell communication.
EVs can be released by every cell type and they can be classified into three major groups …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremities is a chronic illness predominantly
of atherosclerotic aetiology, associated to traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. It is …

Increased vascular calcification (VC) is observed in patients with cardiovascular diseases
such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. VC is divided into three types …

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the vascular wall with multiple
causes. AS is the primary pathological basis of cardiovascular disease and stroke …

Background Carotid artery atherosclerotic stenosis is a preventable major cause of stroke,
but there is still a need for definition of high-risk plaque in asymptomatic patients who might …

One of the pathologic hallmarks of obesity is macrophage infiltration of adipose tissue that
has been confirmed as source of multipotent adult stem cells. Stem cell growth factor-beta …

Vascular endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction plays a key role in diabetic complications. This
study discovers significant upregulation of Quaking-7 (QKI-7) in iPS cell-derived ECs when …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the first cause of death worldwide. In recent years,
there has been great interest in the analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs), including …
