Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease whose pathogenesis is still unclear. Mounting evidence, however, supports the concept that subendothelial retention of apoB100-containing lipoproteins is the initiating event in atherogenesis. Subsequently, a series of biological responses to this retained material leads to specific molecular and cellular processes that promote lesion formation.Entities:
