#Mechanobiology
Structure-based mechanical properties of human carotid arteries and their effect on stress-strain response
Mean strength for all (18 carotid endarterectomy) specimens➡️424.3 ± 206.2 kPa
Median extensibility➡️0.198"
Vascular aging is the primary cause of human mortality, leading to atherosclerosis and vessel rupture. The vascular network loses capillary density and smooth muscle function, increasing risks of heart attacks and strokes.
@alenabeauty.bsky.social❤️ Атеросклерозата може да се развива години наред без симптоми!
🩸 Как холестеролът, възпалението и рисковите фактори влияят на артериите? И как да се предпазим?

@lozanzi.bsky.social#WeekendRead! #MicrobiotaPower! Yin, Mou, Tang, Zhao &co show @nature.com that Bacteroidota-derived pentadecanoid acid C15:0 #PA -a odd-chain saturated fatty acid- protects against #atherosclerosis by reducing cholesterol levels via HMG-CoA reductase inhibition as #statins do! #LipidPower!
@xtangmcb.bsky.socialExcited to share our new study in Nature! We discovered that gut commensal Bacteroides uniformis produces C15:0, promoting cholesterol clearance and reducing atherosclerosis in mice.

@ewingt-phd.bsky.socialChinese researchers notice link between gut #microbe, #metabolite & #atherosclerosis
www.nature.com/articles/d41...
— stool levels of Bacteroides uniformis often depleted in those with heart disease compared with healthy individuals
— blood levels of metabolite C15 pentadecanoic acid also depleted
@martincid.comArtery plaque already shows up in 1 in 13 adults under 30, before any symptom #Rigshospitalet #Atherosclerosis #CardiovascularDisease
@thelolgic.bsky.socialA new NEJM study found artery plaque in 8.7% of men and 6.7% of women aged 18-29, among 16,808 adults screened in Denmark and Spain.
Experts say it may build silently for decades, though not all early plaques turn dangerous.

@sigtrans-sttt.bsky.socialResearchers discover that rapid transcriptional elongation and pause release induced by SEC-driven RNA pol II promote endothelial plasticity & plaque vulnerability, offering a #TherapeuticTarget for #Atherosclerosis.

@jcst2d.bsky.socialThe REACT study found silent atherosclerosis in 57.1% of adults without known cardiovascular disease, raising new questions about early detection and prevention.
@immunologyau.bsky.socialA new study in "Nature Cardiovascular Research" suggests atherosclerosis meets key criteria of an autoimmune disease, advancing a decades-long scientific debate.

@biomedicines.bsky.social📊 Mitochondrial genetics may offer new insights into vascular disease. This study explores the distribution of mtDNA mutations linked to carotid atherosclerotic plaques and reports regional variation in several key variants. #Atherosclerosis

@healthday.bsky.socialA large, new study finds 1 in 13 adults, ages 18-29, already have plaque buildup that traditional cardiovascular risk assessments are missing.
