Abstract
Macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques are activated, inflammatory cells that directly contribute to the disease process. De Nardo et al. (2013), now report that high-density lipoproteins (HDL) can reprogram macrophages to be less inflammatory through an ATF3-dependent pathway, providing another mechanistic basis for the atheroprotective properties of HDL.Entities:
