Mast Cells as Potential Accelerators of Human Atherosclerosis—From Early to Late Lesions
Mast cells are present in atherosclerotic lesions throughout their progression. The process of atherogenesis itself is characterized by infiltration and retention of cholesterol-containing blood-derived low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles in the intimal layer of the arterial wall, where the part...
