  • Abstract:

    Backgrounds

    Efferocytosis is a process by which dead and dying cells are removed by phagocytic cells. Efferocytosis by macrophages is thought to curb the progression of atherosclerosis, but the mechanistic insight of this process is lacking. 

    Aims

    To understand the role and molecular mechanisms of statin, the role of macrophage ERK5, as the strongest
