The development of arteriosclerosis results from diverse pathogenetic sources, and it is
conceivable, therefore, that the course of morphogenesis as well as the ultimate picture of …

New morphologic investigations on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis have refocused
attention on the role of monocytes and macrophages, especially in the early phases of the …

A recent study upends the notion that atherosclerotic plaque is made up of foamy
macrophages differentiated from monocytes that enter the arterial intima from the circulation …

Studies of our group, first presented at a meeting of the Israel Atherosclerosis Society in
1973, indicated that atheromatosis might be the result of imbalance between the amounts of …

Electron microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis clarified the phenotype of
macrophages that are not transformed into foam cells. It is suggested that cells having such …

It has been widely accepted that communicationand interac-tion between cells is an
essential process in atherogenesis. Amongthe cells observed in the atherosclerotic lesions …

Advanced human atherosclerosis typically exhibits frequent granulomatous foci, 1'2 together
with a prominent adventitial cellular infiltrate, which is predominantly lymphocytic. 3 Both …

With specimens of the human ascending aorta obtained from 10 cases ranging in age from
44 to 85, normal appearance, yellowish plaque and whitish plaque were studied electron …

Atherosclerosis is undoubtedly a disease of many facets and in this review we have merely
touched one angle of this issue. The best‐established cause of the disease is hyper …
