Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic plaque formation results from chronic inflammation and fibroproliferative remodeling in the vascular wall. We previously demonstrated that both human and mouse atherosclerotic plaques show elevated expression of EphA2, a guidance molecule involved in cell-cell interactions and tumorigenesis. METHODS: Here, we assessed the role of EphA2 in atherosclerosis by deleting EphA2 in a mouse...
