Abstract excerpt
Murine macrophages exposed to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) polarize into a distinct Mox phenotype characterized by impaired phagocytic and chemotactic function. Although implicated in atherosclerosis, this phenotype has not been confirmed in human macrophages. Drawing parallels to human tumor-associated macrophages, and in contrast to the murine cell response, we hypothesize that LDL/oxLDL induces a...
