On the similarity between aortic and carotid pressure diastolic decay: a mathematical modelling study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia

Aortic diastolic pressure decay (DPD) has been shown to have considerable pathophysiological relevance in the assessment of vascular health, as it is significantly affected by arterial stiffening. Nonetheless, the aortic pressure waveform is rarely availab ...

Considerations for analysis of endothelial shear stress and strain in FSI models of atherosclerosis

Lydia Aslanidou, Fotios Savvopoulos

Atherosclerosis is a lipid driven chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the formation of plaques at predilection sites. These predilection sites (side branches, curved segments, and bifurcations) have often been associated with disturbed sh ...

In situ photopolymerizable hydrogels for intracranial aneurysms treatment

Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by an artery dilation in the brain. An aneurysm is prone to rupture, which causes a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. The major drawbacks of the current treatments, open surgical clip ...

Follicular regulatory helper T cells control the response of regulatory B cells to a high-cholesterol diet

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Aims B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis have been investigated but several aspects remain to be clarified. Methods and results In this study, we show that follicular regulatory helper T cells (T-FR) control regulatory B cell (B-REG) populatio ...

Apelin-13 Protects Corpus Cavernosum Against Fibrosis Induced by High-Fat Diet in an MMP-Dependent Mechanism

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Augusto Martins Lima, Maiia Bragina, Léa Liliane Colette Anguenot

Background: An increased fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa is a prevalent process that underlies most cases of erectile dysfunction. Apelin, an endogenous circulating peptide, has been documented as an important effector on cardiovascular homeostasis, cont ...

Cardiotrophin-1 Deficiency Abrogates Atherosclerosis Progression

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We investigated the effect of CT-1 deficiency in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in double knockout Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) mice. Apoe(-/-) C57Bl/6 or Apoe(-/-)ct-1(-/-) ...

On the importance of the nonuniform aortic stiffening in the hemodynamics of physiological aging

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Mathematical models of the arterial tree constitute a valuable tool to investigate the hemodynamics of aging and pathology. Rendering such models as patient specific could allow for the assessment of central hemodynamic variables of clinical interest. Howe ...

Calorie restriction slows age-related microbiota changes in an Alzheimer's disease model in female mice

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans, and advanced age is the greatest risk factor. AD patients have altered intestinal microbiota. Accordingly, depleting intestinal microbiota in AD animal models reduces amyloid-beta (A beta ...

Standardization proposal of soft tissue artefact description for data sharing in human motion measurements

Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Soft tissue artefact (STA) represents one of the main obstacles for obtaining accurate and reliable skeletal kinematics from motion capture. Many studies have addressed this issue, yet there is no consensus on the best available bone pose estimator and the ...

Treatment with the GPR55 antagonist CID16020046 increases neutrophil activation in mouse atherogenesis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Endocannabinoids modulate atherogenesis by triggering different receptors. Recently, orphan G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) were suggested to be activated by endocannabinoids, possibly regulating vasorelaxation. Here, we investigated whether GPR55 antag ...
