Reprogramming cholesterol metabolism in macrophages and its role in host defense against cholesterol-dependent cytolysins
11 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Cholesterol is a critical lipid for all mammalian cells, ensuring proper membrane integrity, fluidity, and biochemical function. Accumulating evidence indicates that macrophages rapidly and profoundly reprogram their cholesterol metabolism in response to activation signals to support host defense processes. However, our understanding of the molecular details underlying how and why cholesterol homeostasis is...
