Superselective embolic particle guidance in vessel networks via shape-adaptive acoustic manipulation by Yucheng Luo, Qiu Yin, Keke Chen, Zhaoyu Deng, Xiaozhou Liu, Yinning Zhou, Benpeng Zhu, Wenming Zhang, Zhichao Ma

“…Abstract Interventional embolization has been widely used as a clinical cancer therapy, which deactivates the tumors by occluding their blood supply vessels. However, conventional methods lack active control over the embolic particles, thus having a limited selectivity of millimeter-scale vessels and the issue of missing embolization. …”

Lipoprotein Biology During Induced Oogenesis in the Shortfinned Eel, <i>Anguilla australis</i>—Vascular Transport by Erin L. Damsteegt, Benedetta Mercuriali, Georgia Thomson-Laing, Joanna M. Ward, P. Mark Lokman

“…Slotblots, colorimetric lipid/cholesterol assays, fast protein liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay were used to assess aspects of blood chemistry. The lack of any trend in triglyceride and apolipoprotein B levels in plasma over time, combined with a significant reduction in cholesterol concentrations and a 10-fold increase in vitellogenin levels, confirmed a shift from low-density lipoprotein dominance—usually associated with lipid uptake and early oogenesis—to an abundance of high-density lipoproteins linked to vitellogenesis. …”

The Impact of Abdominal Obesity Status on Cardiovascular Response to the Mediterranean Diet by Alexandra Bédard, Sylvie Dodin, Louise Corneau, Simone Lemieux

“…The MedDiet resulted in decreases in total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, A-1, and A-2, total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (time effect: P<0.05). For all variables related to glucose/insulin homeostasis, no change was observed except for a decrease in 2 h glucose concentrations (time effect: P=0.03). …”
