PMA activation of macrophages alters macrophage metabolism of aggregated LDL
Aggregation of LDL may contribute to its retention in atherosclerotic lesions. Previously, we showed that aggregated LDL induces and enters surface-connected compartments (SCCs) in human monocyte-derived macrophages by a process we have named patocytosis. Aggregated LDL was disaggregated and release...
