Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells Promote Atherosclerosis Through Monocyte-Driven Inflammation

2026-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional T lymphocytes that may contribute to inflammatory responses, although their specific role in atherosclerosis remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified MAIT cells within human atherosclerotic plaques and found that they were significantly enriched among CD3⁺ T cells in plaques compared to matched peripheral blood samples. MAIT cells within...
