Macrophage subsets in atherosclerosis

Nature Reviews Cardiology Atherosclerosis is characterized by increased accumulation of macrophages within the vessel wall. In response to stimuli such as modified lipids, cytokines, and senescent erythrocytes present in the atherosclerotic lesion, these macrophages can alter their functional phenotypes. Different macrophage subsets can influence the growth and composition of the atherosclerotic plaque in distinct ways. In this Review, Chinetti-Gbaguidi...
