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 .. The access to the whole abstract and if available the presentation file is available to FIP members and to congress participants of that specific congress.
