The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and incident atherosclerotic events: analyses from five contemporary randomized trials

Nicholas H. Adamstein et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can predict cardiovascular events and mortality risk, and can be reduced by anti-inflammatory therapy with canakinumab.

The Role of Inflammatory Cytokines as Intermediates in the Pathway from Increased Adiposity to Disease

Marita Kalaoja et al.

Summary: The study found that BMI was associated with 19 cytokines, with increases in BMI leading to higher levels of hepatocyte growth factor, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. However, there was little evidence that elevated levels of BMI-driven cytokines had a significant effect on disease risk.

Targeting inflammation in atherosclerosis - from experimental insights to the clinic

Oliver Soehnlein et al.

Summary: Inflammation plays a substantial role in atherosclerosis and targeting inflammatory pathways could provide a promising new avenue to prevent and treat the disease. Clinical studies have shown that modulation of inflammation can help prevent the clinical complications of atherosclerosis. Refining strategies for combatting inflammation in the disease is crucial for further progress in managing atherosclerotic risk.
