Immunologic research into pathogenic mechanisms operating in autoimmune-mediated
atherosclerosis initially focused on adaptive immunity. Current interest is directed to more …

Atherosclerosis has long been considered as a lipid storage disease. Recent data suggest
that autoimmune mechanisms seem to be involved in the pathophysiology of …

No attention is usually focused on the possible involvement of immune mechanisms,
particularly of autoimmunity, on the development and progress of atherosclerosis. The …

Atherosclerosis (AT) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease, characterized by

Atherosclerotic vasculopathy is a multifactorial process causing vessels damage and
cardiovascular diseases, the leading causes of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic plaque is …

Immune responses participate in every phase of atherosclerosis. There is increasing
evidence that both adaptive and innate immunity tightly regulate atherogenesis. Although …

Atherosclerosis is a pathologic process affecting blood vessels, which leads to the
development of cardiovascular disease. The immune system is involved in atherogenesis …

Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, is characterized by chronic
inflammation and altered immune response. Cholesterol is a well‐known risk factor …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Many studies and observations suggest
that it could be caused by an immune reaction against autoantigens at the endothelial level …

The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has not been well defined and many questions remain
unanswered. Many studies have discussed the importance of inflammation as the first step …
