The transcription factor MafB promotes anti-inflammatory M2 polarization and cholesterol efflux in macrophages
2 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Macrophages play pivotal roles in the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Accumulating evidence suggests that macrophage polarization into an anti-inflammatory M2 state is a key characteristic of atherosclerotic plaques undergoing regression. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this potential association of the M2 polarization with atherosclerosis regression remain poorly understood. Further,...
