A key to minimizing the consequences of relapse is early recognition through monitoring. This is particularly essential to detect glomerulonephritis that is often asymptomatic and can be rapidly progressive. Wh
LDL particles can also reach SLOs systemically and, in the absence of systemic inflammation (that is, early atherosclerosis), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) peptides are likely to be presented in a tolerogenic manner, generating antigen-specific Tregcells rather than effector T cells (Teffcells) (Fig.1...

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the most abundant cell in vessels. Earlier experiments have found that VSMCs possess high plasticity. Vascular injury stimulates VSMCs to switch into a dedifferentiated type, also known as synthetic VSMCs, with a
It is important to determine if the patient has intrinsic renal disease, ischemic nephropathy, or both (35). The evaluation of nephropathy may include urinalysis for proteinuria, serum creatinine, and renal imaging to assess the renal dimensions, renal resistive indexes, as well as the renal ...
