Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of all cardiovascular diseases and related mortality. Elevated LDL-cholesterol in the plasma and local oxidative stress are early events in the atherogenesis process. Besides, macrophages recruited from the circulating blood monocytes and resident in the subendothelial space are key cells involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Mark…

Abstract
Some proteins belonging to the myosin superfamily move along actin filaments using ATP hydrolysis to transport vesicles, organelles, mRNA, protein complexes and others cargoes. Myosin 5A (MYO5A) is an ubiquitous non-muscular myosin present in eukaryotic cells, which has been extensively investigated. MYO5A is a homodimeric molecular motor with semi-conserved primary sequence over the evol…
