In Vivo Imaging of Proteolytic Activity in Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Cathepsin B, and potentially other proteases, may serve as a biomarker for vulnerable plaques when probed with beacons and the tomographic in vivo imaging method could be readily adapted to screening and potentially to the molecular profiling of a number of proteases in vulnerable plaque in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resident c-kit(+) cells in the heart are not cardiac stem cells.

TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that c-kit+ cells in the murine heart are endothelial cells and not CSCs, which predominantly labels a cardiac endothelial cell population in developing and adult hearts.

Genetic Deficiency of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Reduces Atherosclerosis and Lowers Plasma Lipid Peroxides in Apolipoprotein E–Knockout Mice

TL;DR: Genetic deficiency of iNOS decreases diet-induced atherosclerosis and lowers plasma levels of lipoperoxides, a marker for oxidative stress, in apoE-KO animals, indicating reduction in iNos-mediated oxidative stress could partly explain protection from lesion formation in dKO animals.
