Aggregation, fusion, and vesicle formation of modified low density lipoprotein particles: molecular mechanisms and effects on matrix interactions
Initiation of atherosclerosis is characterized by accumulation of aggregates of small lipid droplets and vesicles in the extracellular matrix of the arterial intima. The droplets and vesicles have features that suggest that they are formed from modified plasma-derived low density lipoprotein (LDL) p...
