Macrophages, lipoprotein metabolism, and atherosclerosis
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
The macrophage expresses a variety of genes that may contribute to lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerotic lesion formation. Bone marrow transplantation experiments using gene-targeted mice, both as donors and recipients, provide a useful approach to examine the contribution of macrophage gene expression to lipoprotein metabolism and atherogenesis in vivo. This article describes recent insights into the role...
