Impact of Silver and Iron Nanoparticle Exposure on Cholesterol Uptake by Macrophages
Macrophages are central to the development of atherosclerosis by absorbing lipids, promoting inflammation, and increasing plaque deposition. Nanoparticles (NPs) are becoming increasingly common in biomedical applications thereby increasing exposure to the immune and vascular systems. This project in...
