Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Excessive vascular remodelling leads to progression of a wide range of vasculopathies, and the immune response to intimal injuries is crucial in this process. This vascular remodelling occurs in the hypoxic microenvironment and is closely related to the immune system. Macrophages play a key role in immunological-cell-mediated arterial remodelling. In this study, we clarified the role of macrophage-derived...
