Atherosclerotic Plaque and its Effects on Humans

Ivanov S, Arvand Haschemi, Alexandre Gallerand

Metabolism plays a crucial role in regulating immune system functions. The range of plaque-resident myeloid cells that make up this review will be discussed, with a focus on their metabolic requirements and their intraplaque location. Key questions about the characteristics of plaque resident myeloid cells and their role in disease progression can be answered by defining their metabolic configuration in relation to their topologic distribution.
