Nanoparticles can be used to fight the inflammation of vascular plaques

Michigan State University researchers have succeeded in developing a new and promising treatment method to deal with the inflammation of vascular plaques. This method, which is designed based on the use of nanoparticles, can be known as a big step towards the treatment of heart diseases.

According to the medical and health news service of Tekna Technology Media, vascular plaques are the accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances in the walls of the vessels that can cause narrowing of the vessels and disruption of blood flow. This accumulation can lead to inflammation and eventually to heart diseases such as heart attack. In this new treatment method, nanoparticles are directed to the inflamed areas in the veins and by activating the body’s immune system, they help break down and clear the plaques. This method specifically targets dangerous plaques that increase the likelihood of rupture and blood clot formation.

In this method, nanoparticles attack only the inflamed areas and do not harm other tissues of the body. By removing the plaques, the inflammation in the vessels is reduced and the risk of heart diseases is reduced. The results of tests on animals have shown that this treatment method is very effective in reducing inflammation and plaque. This discovery can become a turning point in the treatment of heart diseases. By using this new treatment method, we can hope for more effective and safer treatment of patients with heart diseases.
