Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Atherosclerosis is a chronic immunometabolic disease driven by lipid accumulation and immune cell infiltration. Macrophages and T cells play key roles throughout plaque development. Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein, modulates immune functions in these cells and has been reported to attenuate atherosclerosis, though its mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we...
