T cell cholesterol efflux suppresses apoptosis and senescence and increases atherosclerosis in middle aged mice
Cholesterol efflux is mediated by specific transporters in T cells. Here the authors show that when the ABCA1/ABCG1 cholesterol transporters are absent, peripheral T cell numbers are reduced but activation increased with a premature aging phenotype of T cell senescence and apoptosis in middle aged L...
