The transcription factor MafB promotes anti-inflammatory M2 polarization and cholesterol efflux in macrophages
Abstract Macrophages play pivotal roles in the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Accumulating evidence suggests that macrophage polarization into an anti-inflammatory M2 state is a key characteristic of atherosclerotic plaques undergoing regression. However, the molecular mechanisms und...
