As illustrated herein, cholesterol is oxidized when it is present in atherosclerotic plaques. This reaction generates cholesterol oxidation or ozonation products that can act as chemotactic attractants of macrophages, can promote differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and can increase expression of E-selectin and Class A scavenger receptor (SR-A). The present application is directed to methods of using such cholesterol ozonation products to identify agents that can be used to treat atherosclerosis and other inflammatory artery diseases.

Disclosure of methods and compositions related to chemical conjugations to nanoparticles of polysaccharides cross-linked to poloxamers as well as nano-sized colloids comprised of polysaccharides and poloxamers. The nanoparticles may be produced by various methods including inverse miniemulsion polymerization processes which create nanogels of desired size, shape, and stability for controlled therapeutic drug delivery, imaging, and theragnostic applications.
