6. The nuclear factor k[kappa]B signal transduction pathway : its role in atherogenesis and intimal hyperplasia
Abstract : Vascular inflammation is a hallmark of major cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, and also suggested as a critical component implicated in intimal hyperplasia. Given its central role in regulating expression of inflammatory genes, the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) signal transduction pathway was postulated to play an important role in these pathological processes.

7. Aspects of arterial wall healing : re-endothelialization, intimal hyperplasia and vascular remodeling
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. Despite prevention, the need for interventions remains high. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have an increased cardiovascular burden and are at higher risk of complications following invasive vascular interventions. READ MORE

8. Prevention of intimal hyperplasia after balloon angioplasty and / or stent insertion. or How to mend a broken heart - Just say NO
Abstract : Background: Restenosis is the most frequently occurring adverse event after percutaneous intravascular treatment of atherosclerotic lesions, which limits long-term patency of the intervention. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if minimizing vascular injury during treatment by insertion of self-expanding stents or modifying the reparative mechanisms by local drug delivery can reduce restenosis.

9. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha as a target cytokine in vascular disease
Abstract : Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. One of the most potent pro-inflammatory cytokines is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), a cytokine identified to have a pathogenic role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). READ MORE

10. Perlecan in vascular disease
Abstract : Atherosclerosis has become the most common cause of death in the world. The development of the disease involves accumulation of lipids in the inner layer of the vessel wall, the intima, and recruitment of inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). READ MORE
