Dear Colleagues from the ESC Working Group on Atherosclerosis and Vascular Biology. We hope you are enjoying the summer! 

If you don’t have anything to read during the summer, here are some interesting articles to consider: 

  1. Translatome profiling reveals Itih4 as a novel smooth muscle cell–specific gene in atherosclerosis, Aarthi Ravindran and others, Cardiovascular Research, Volume 120, Issue 8, May 2024, Pages 869–882
  2. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 regulates the transendothelial transport of high-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins in opposite ways, Srividya Velagapudi and others, Cardiovascular Research, Volume 120, Issue 5, April 2024, Pages 476–489

If you want more, access all our recommended readings here.

One of the group’s tasks is to promote scientific interactions on our topic and it is wonderful to share some memories of our members recently networking with the Swiss Society of Cardiology in Lausanne. 

… And also at the European Society of Atherosclerosis 60th anniversary meeting in Lyon!
