Myeloid IκBα deficiency promotes atherogenesis by enhancing leukocyte recruitment to the plaques.
Activation of the transcription factor NF-κB appears to be involved in different stages of atherogenesis. In this paper we investigate the role of NF-κB inhibitor IκBα in atherosclerosis. Myeloid-specific deletion of IκBα results in larger and more advanced lesions in LDL-R-deficient mice without af...
