Siglec-E retards atherosclerosis by inhibiting CD36-mediated foam cell formation
Abstract Background The accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, foam cells, within sub-endothelial intima is a key feature of early atherosclerosis. Siglec-E, a mouse orthologue of human Siglec-9, is a sialic acid binding lectin predominantly expressed on the surface of myeloid cells to transduce i...
