Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, primarily affecting the heart and blood vessels, with atherosclerosis being major contributing factor to their onset. Epidemiological clinical studies have linked high levels low-density lipoprotein (LDL) emanating from distorted cholesterol homeostasis as its predisposing factor. Cholesterol homeostasis, which involves maintaining balance in body level, is mediated by several proteins or receptors, transcription factors, even genes, regulating influx (through dietary intake de novo synthesis) efflux (by conversion bile acids). Previous knowledge about CVDs management has evolved around modulating these receptors' activities through synthetic small molecules/antibodies, limited interest natural products. The central roles cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1 (CYP7A1), among other fostered growing scientific interests understanding more on regulatory potential drug targets. We present up-to-date contributions CETP, PCSK9, CYP7A1 toward CVDs, highlighting successes failures molecules/antibodies modulate activities. In recommendation for new direction improve cardiovascular health, we presented recent findings products (including functional food, plant extracts, phytochemicals, bioactive peptides, therapeutic carbohydrates) that also PCSK-9, CYP7A1, emphasized need research efforts redirected unraveling potentials at trial level CVD management.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by lipid accumulation in the arteries, leading to narrowing and thrombosis that causes mortality. Emerging evidence has confirmed atherosclerosis affects younger people involved majority of deaths worldwide. EVs are associated with critical steps atherosclerosis, cholesterol metabolism, immune response, endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, remodeling. Endothelial cell-derived can interact platelets monocytes, thereby influencing atherosclerotic plaque destabilization, formation thrombus. potential diagnostic prognostic biomarkers (AS) cardiovascular (CVD). Importantly, derived from stem/progenitor cells essential mediators cardiogenesis cardioprotection may be used regenerative medicine tissue engineering.
