Role of CD36, the Macrophage Class B Scavenger Receptor, in Atherosclerosis

1 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt

Recent work in the field of atherosclerosis has greatly expanded our knowledge of the pathogenesis of this disease. Scavenger receptors, including CD36, are thought to be most important early in the disease progression during macrophage uptake of modified LDL and foam cell formation. Genetically engineered murine models have been used to elucidate the contribution of the different scavenger receptors, to identify...
