Fibroblast Activation Protein Regulates Lesion Burden and the Fibro-inflammatory Response in Apoe-deficient Mice in a Sexually Dimorphic Manner

There is no need to search high and low for current Pathology industry news as Lab.Equipment guarantees you are updated whenever and wherever. This week’s curated article is fresh from The American Journal of Pathology:

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) has been established as an inducible and mesenchymal cell-specific mediator of disease progression in cancer and fibrosis. Atherosclerosis is a fibro-inflammatory disease, and FAP was previously reported to be up-regulated in human atherosclerotic plaques compared to normal vessel. Here, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of Fap expressing cells in a murine model of atherosclerosis and used a genetic approach to determine if and how Fap impacted disease progression....
