Arterial remodeling is currently being recognized as an important determinant in vascular
pathology in which narrowing of the lumen is the predominant feature. Not only expansive …

Our knowledge concerning the primary structures of crustacean neuropeptides has been
broadened considerably during the last few years and has greatly contributed to the successful …

The artery is a dynamic organ capable of changing its geometry in response to atherosclerotic
plaque formation. Expansion of the vessel diameter retards luminal narrowing and is …

Objective— To score the number of plaque neutrophils and relate the score to plaque
morphology and inflammatory status. Methods and Results— Neutrophils are inflammatory cells …

Background and Purpose— We studied matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2, 8, and 9 and
extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) levels in relation to carotid …

Descriptions of growth and reproductive mechanisms in Homarus americanus date to the
late 1800s, when Francis Hobart Herrick wrote the first of two impressive monographs on the …

Crustacean reproduction is regulated by a complex chain of hormonal interactions in which
the crustacean hyperglycaemic hormones A and B (CHH-A and CHH-B) and the gonad-…

In the setting of myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs due to
occlusion (ischemia) and subsequent re-establishment of blood flow (reperfusion) of a coronary …

Objective— Atherosclerotic plaque rupture can lead to severe complications such as myocardial
infarction and stroke. Myeloid related protein (Mrp)-14, Mrp-8, and Mrp-8/14 complex …

Objective: To determine whether MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) levels in
human atherosclerotic plaques associate with plaque vulnerability features. Approach and …
