Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease involving dysfunction of endothelial cells (EC) and enhanced permeability of the endothelium to oxidized low-density lipoprotein and the transmigration of monocytes from the blood to the intima where they ar

Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction contributes to atherosclerosis, which is associated with arterial stiffening and fibronectin (FN) deposition, by ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The effect of stiffness on the EC/FN interaction and fibrillar adhe

Design and synthesis of branched tetraethylene glycol (TEG) based ligands for subsequent conjugation to gold nanoshells are reported. TEG enhances the aqueous solubility of hollow gold nanoshells (HAuNShs), and the branched architecture provides stab

Background Mechanobiological studies allow the characterization of cell response to mechanical stresses. Cells need to be supported by a material with properties similar to the physiological environment. Silicone elastomers have been used to produce

A simple and highly versatile click chemistry based synthetic strategy to develop an ABC type miktoarm star ligand that is conjugated to gold nanoshells (GNS) is reported. The surface functionalized multifunctional GNS contain lipoic acid (LA) as a m

Background/introduction Diseases of the aorta can alter the local mechanical properties of the tissue, leading to aneurysms and plaque instability. Local tissue properties are best evaluated from surgical samples or autopsy tissue using mechanical te

In addition to lowering cholesterol, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, or statins, have been shown to modulate gene expression in endothelial cells. The effect of statins on cell adhesion molecule expression is unc

Few studies have investigated whether fluid mechanics can impair or enhance endothelial cell response to pharmacological agents such as statin drugs. We evaluated and compared Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), an

Leukocytes play a pivotal role in the progression of atherosclerosis. A novel three dimensional in vitro asymmetric stenosis model was used to better investigate the role of local hemodynamics in the adhesion of leukocytes to an established plaque. T
