Background: Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is widely used for risk stratification. However, in patients with established coronary artery disease, its clinical implication and relationship with plaque vulnerability are unclear. We sought to correlate the CACS and plaque vulnerability assessed by optical coherence tomography.

After spinal cord injury (SCI), phagocytes endocytose myelin debris to form foam cells, exacerbating the inflammatory response. It has been previously shown that macrophages become foam cells through the phagocytosis of myelin debris via receptor-dependent mechanisms after SCI. Blocking receptor-mediated endocytosis did not completely prevent foam cell formation, so we investigated receptor-independent endocytosis.

The goal of combination cancer therapy, including chemo-phototherapy, is to achieve highly efficient antitumor effects while minimizing the adverse reactions associated with conventional chemotherapy. Nevertheless, enhancing the contribution of non-chemotherapeutic strategies in combination therapy is often challenging because this requires multiple active ingredients to be encapsulated in a single delivery system. However, most commonly used photothermal reagents are challenging to be loaded in large quantities and have poor biocompatibility.

Squalene synthase (SQS) plays a crucial role in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. Its distinctive strategic position makes it a promising candidate for targeting and developing new anti-hypercholesterolemic agents. To uncover novel phytochemical scaffolds as potential inhibitors of SQS, we employed a structure-based virtual screening approach that involves screening 545 phytochemicals collected from Moroccan aromatic and medicinal plants and filtering them based on RMSD values and their affinity towards the target enzyme.
