Atherosclerosis is a long-term, chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall leading to the
formation of occlusive or rupture-prone lesions in large arteries. Complications of …

An impressive body of work has established the current paradigm of atherosclerosis as an
inflammatory process that promotes lesion development and progression. Early atheroma …

Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall that
encompasses the accumulation of lipids, and it is critically shaped by the recruitment of …

Chemokines play important roles in atherosclerotic vascular disease. Expressed by not only
cells of the vessel wall but also emigrated leukocytes, chemokines were initially discovered …

A growing body of experimental evidence supports the pivotal role of chemokines in the
pathogenesis of vascular disease. The endothelial expression of monocyte chemoattractant …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall that is characterized by
a disturbed equilibrium of immune responses and lipid accumulation, leading to the …

The recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes, and the migration, growth and activation of
macrophages, lymphocytes and smooth muscle cells within lesions, are critical features of …

Chemokines or chemotactic cytokines represent an expanding family of structurally related
small molecular weight proteins, recognised as being responsible for leukocyte trafficking …

The fundamental importance of chemokines for atherogenesis, progression, and
destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques is now widely appreciated, but the degree of …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall, characterized by the
accumulation of leukocytes, especially macrophages and T‐cells. Chemokines are small …
