  2. 11. Interactions between leukocytes, platelets and the endothelium in vein graft failure

    Author : Chi-Nan Tseng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autologous venous grafts are preferred conduits in bypass surgery due to their length, easy harvesting, and feasibility. However, development of intimal hyperplasia decreases long-term patency rate in venous grafts prompting close clinical surveillance and further intervention. READ MORE

  4. 12. Vascular repair mechanisms : experimental, physiological and clinical studies

    Author : Anton Razuvajev; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality and physical disability mainly due to the complications of atherothrombosis such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Surgical treatment directed to prevent this conditions is limited by the extensive healing response, intimal hyperplasia. READ MORE

  5. 13. Retinoid metabolism and signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells

    Author : Pauline Ocaya; Allan Sirsjö; Andreas C. Gidlöf; William S. Blaner; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : all-trans Retinol; all-trans Retinoic acid; retinoid metabolism; proliferation; Vascular smooth muscle cells; CYP26; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a major role in cardiovascular diseases. In advanced atherosclerosis, blood flow is impaired due to reduced luminal diameter. Percutaneous vascular interventions, including balloon angioplasty and stent-application are commonly used for the re-establishment of luminal size and improvement of tissue perfusion. READ MORE

  6. 14. The role of the G protein-coupled receptor ChemR23 in cardiovascular inflammation

    Author : Gonzalo Artiach Castañón; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular inflammation is a biological process characterized by the immune cell response to harmful stimuli within the cardiovascular system, wherein homeostasis is reestablished by neutralizing the insult and promoting the repair of the damaged tissue. However, a failure in the resolution of inflammation can lead to a maladaptive inflammatory response, contributing to the development of cardiovascular diseases such as aortic valve stenosis (AVS) and atherosclerosis, as well as vascular complications such as intimal hyperplasia.

  7. 15. Vascular progenitor cells in arterial remodeling

    Author : Monika K Grudzinska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality and physical disability mainly due to the complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Physiological healing reaction takes place in the diseased vessel wall aimed to repair the vessel after an injury. READ MORE
