most notably in macrophage foam cells, that is strongly correlated with atherosclerosis. Macrophages mediate a limited-specificity immune response that includes recognition of ‘foreign’ lipid ...

Researchers show that genetic traits influence the cellular composition of atherosclerotic plaques, which over time will affect the risk of such lesions to cause a stroke or heart attack. The new ...

The growing knowledge of the role of regulatory T cells could result in the future development of novel therapeutic modalities to attenuate atherosclerosis and stabilize vulnerable plaques.

Trodusquemine blocked the effects of this immune response preventing the white blood cells, called macrophages, from becoming ...
