CD8+ T-cells in atherosclerosis: mechanistic studies revealing a protective role in the plaque microenvironment
Atherosclerosis is the most important underlying process that drives cardiovascular disease, and is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol which triggers an inflammatory response in the vessel wall.
-
Cholesterol metabolism in mouse models of atherosclerosis and adrenal steroidogenesis
Cholesterol influences many pathways, including serving as precursor for adrenal steroidogenesis. Imbalance of cholesterol levels has been implicated in several diseases including cardiovascular diseases and its underlying pathology, atherosclerosis.
