New Anti-Inflammatory Therapies Target Atherosclerosis at the Cellular Level
This comprehensive review examines how atherosclerosis progresses when immune cells fail to clear dead cells properly, a process called efferocytosis. Researchers found that macrophages in blood vessel walls become overwhelmed and can't remove cellular debris, leading to dangerous plaque buildup. The study highlights promising new therapies that enhance the body's natural cleanup mechanisms rather than simply suppressing inflammation, potentially offering safer and more effective treatments for cardiovascular disease.
