TL;DR: Intensive research on the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 is urgently needed to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms and epidemiological characteristics and to identify potential drug targets, which will contribute to the development of effective prevention and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe decades of research aimed at identifying key molecules and cellular players involved in each main aspect of hepatic cholesterol metabolism and summarize the recent advances regarding the biological processes of liver cholesterol transport and its role in NAFLD and atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Recent evidence about the pro- atherosclerotic effects of resistin is gathered and it is highlighted as a candidate therapeutic or diagnostic target for cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the influence of CTRP12 on atherosclerosis and explored the underlying mechanisms, showing that lentivirus-mediated CTRP-12 overexpression inhibited lipid accumulation and inflammatory response in lipid-laden macrophages.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that astragalin protects against atherosclerosis by promoting ABCA1- and ABCG1-mediated cholesterol efflux and inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediator release.
