Abstract excerpt
AIMS: A subset of endothelial cells referred to as immunomodulatory endothelial cells (IMEC) has been proposed to regulate T-cell responses in atherosclerosis and after myocardial infarction. Here, we studied the inflammation-induced emergence of IMEC and characterized their crosstalk with T cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: An in vitro model to study IMEC was characterized using flow cytometry and proteomics....
