Dendritic cells in atherosclerotic inflammation: The complexity of functions and the peculiarities of pathophysiological effects
Atherosclerosis is considered as a chronic disease of arterial wall, with a strong contribution of inflammation. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in the initiation of proatherogenic inflammatory response. Mature DCs present self-antigens thereby supporting differentiation of naïve T cells t...
