5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Sonodynamic Therapy Alleviates Atherosclerosis via Enhancing Efferocytosis and Facilitating a Shift in the Th1/Th2 Balance Toward Th2 Polarization

5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Sonodynamic Therapy Alleviates Atherosclerosis via Enhancing Efferocytosis and Facilitating a Shift in the Th1/Th2 Balance Toward Th2 Polarization

Background/Aims: We and other groups have demonstrated that 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated sonodynamic therapy (ALA-SDT) induces macrophage and foam cell apoptosis and stabilizes atherosclerosis (AS) plaques in animal models. Lymphocytes also play vital roles in the development of AS. The prim...
