Atherosclerotic plaque development in mice is enhanced by myeloid ZEB1 downregulation

Abstract Accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages within the arterial neointima is a critical step in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Here, we show that reduced levels of the cellular plasticity factor ZEB1 in macrophages increase atherosclerotic plaque formation and the chance of cardiovascular ev...
