Immune cells in arteries can sniff out their surroundings and cause inflammation

An artery is not like a nose. Or is it? Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered that immune cells in arteries can "sniff" out their surroundings and cause inflammation.

Risk linked to coronary arteriosclerosis may be explained by changes in gene networks

Up to 60 percent of the risk associated with coronary arteriosclerosis may be explained by changes in the activity of hundreds of genes working together in networks across several organs in the body.

A highly effective protection against oxidative stress developed by present-day humans

Very few proteins in the body have a change that makes them unique compared to the corresponding proteins in Neanderthals and apes. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and Karolinska Institute in Sweden have now studied one such protein, glutathione reductase, which protects against oxidative stress.

Research offers alternative cell option for organs-on-chips

Organ-on-a-chip technology has provided a push to discover new drugs for a variety of rare and ignored diseases for which current models either don't exist or lack precision. In particular, these platforms can include the cells of a patient, thus resulting in patient-specific discovery.
