DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)30793-4
Abstract: Cholesterol crystals (CCs) have been recognized as only ghost images. Recently, free monolayer and multilayer CCs besides atheromatous materials from aortic ruptured plaque, obtained using nonobstructive angioscopy, were demonstrated using polarized light microscopy. The aim… read more here.

PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF INTRAPLAQUE HEMORRHAGE WITH CHOLESTEROL CRYSTALS IN NON-CULPRIT LESIONS ASSESSED BY OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)30768-3
Abstract: Because intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is considered as a local source of free cholesterol which will develop into cholesterol crystals (CC), we hypothesized that IPH and CC should co-exist frequently and predict subsequent lesion progression. Using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000028655
Abstract: Abstract Rationale: The presence of cholesterol crystals in the anterior chamber is extremely rare, and secondary glaucoma with cholesterol crystals in the anterior chamber, reported in the literature, is even rarer. This paper reports 3… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0172773
Abstract: Cholesterol deposits and pro-inflammatory cytokines play an essential role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, a predominant cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Epidemiological evidence has linked periodontal disease (PD) with atherosclerotic CVD. Accordingly, viable periodontal pathogens,… read more here.

The relationships between cholesterol crystals, NLRP3 inflammasome, and coronary atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in acute coronary syndrome: An optical coherence tomography study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"
DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.905363
Abstract: Background Cholesterol crystals (CCs) in lesions are the hallmark of advanced atherosclerotic plaque. Previous studies have demonstrated that CCs could activate NLRP3 inflammasome, which played an important role in atherosclerotic lesion progression. However, the relationship… read more here.

C-Reactive Protein Binds to Cholesterol Crystals and Co-Localizes with the Terminal Complement Complex in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Immunology"
DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01040
Abstract: Inflammation is a part of the initial process leading to atherosclerosis and cholesterol crystals (CC), found in atherosclerotic plaques, which are known to induce complement activation. The pentraxins C-reactive protein (CRP), long pentraxin 3 (PTX3),… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis"
DOI: 10.5551/jat.64098
Abstract: AIM This study aimed to clarify whether cholesterol crystals (CCs) are the main trigger of innate inflammation in human spontaneously ruptured aortic plaques (SRAPs). METHODS This study included 260 SRAPs collected during nonobstructive general angioscopy… read more here.
