Specific Targeting of Atherosclerotic Plaques in ApoE(-/-) Mice Using a New Camelid sdAb Binding the Vulnerable Plaque Marker LOX-1. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose
Molecular imaging has the potential to provide quantitative information about specific biological aspects of developing atherosclerotic lesions. This requires the generation of reliable, highly specific plaque tracers. This study reports a new camelid single-domain antibody fragment (sdAb) targeting the Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1), a biomarker for the detection and molecular phenotyping of ...

Selective removal of macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques as a pharmacological approach for plaque stabilization: benefits vs. potential complications University of Antwerp
Atherosclerotic plaque destabilization is a major cause of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Macrophages, which are an essential component of unstable plaques, play a pivotal role in the destabilization process, whereas smooth muscle cells contribute to plaque stability. Selective removal of macrophages is therefore an interesting pharmacological objective to stabilize vulnerable, rupture-prone lesions. ...

‘Giudicho essere piu ghuadagnio lo spendere qui che ’l ghuadagniare chosti’ : the plague in the Buonarroti correspondence among anxieties, professional dilemmas and medical beliefs Ghent University
This paper examines the experiences of the plague in early sixteenth-century Italy from the perspective of one Florentine family, the Buonarroti, based on their vast correspondence. The paper explores the way the Buonarroti family members gave voice to their anxieties, particularly with regard to the violent outbreak that swept across Italy in the 1520s. It also examines the advice that family members gave each other, assessing the extent to ...

Plague, religion and urban space in sixteenth-century Antwerp University of Antwerp
Antwerp’s response to the outbreak of plague in the 1570s offers new insights into the effects of epidemics on urban communities in relation to their religious, economic, and spatial fabric. Antwerp’s transition from a Catholic to Calvinist government in 1577, and back to Catholicism in 1585, allows us to study its reaction to and the effects of plague across religious boundaries within a short time span. Using GIS, we have compared various rich ...
Influence of human activity patterns on epidemiology of plague in Western Usambara Mountains, Tanzania KU Leuven
Human plague has been a recurring public health threat in some villages in the Western Usambara Mountains, Tanzania, in the period between 1980 and 2004. Despite intensive past biological and medical research, the reasons for the plague outbreaks in the same set of villages remain unknown. Plague research needs to broaden its scope and formulate new hypotheses. This study was carried out to establish relationships between the nature and the ...
