Stanford scientists designed a nanobody platform to inhibit the activity of granulysin, a protein that is often found in arterial plaque and released by T cells, to prevent the development of atherosclerosis such as heart attack and strokes.
Researchers at Stanford have discovered that nanobodies blocking amphiregulin (AREG) activity have the potential to impede the progression of early-stage atherosclerotic plaque lesions to advanced-stage fibroatheromas.
Stanford researchers have designed a nanobody platform to selectively block a key region on T cells found within arterial plaque, with the aim of preventing thrombotic complications and myocarditis.
Researchers at Stanford University have discovered a new type of integrin-mediated cell adhesion, called curved adhesion, that represents the dominant structure in 3D physiological environments.
