Recent investigations have reanimated the view that there exists a possible link between
atherosclerosis and inflammation. Adhesion of monocytes as well as T lymphocytes to the …

To investigate the mechanism (s) for mononuclear cell recruitment in the arterial wall during
the development of atherosclerosis, we studied intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) …

Infiltration of mononuclear cells is an early pathological finding in human and experimental
atherosclerosis. However, the cellular and molecular basis for cell infiltration is incompletely …

Atherosclerosis is currently the leading factor of death in developed countries. It is now
recognized as a chronic immune-inflammatory disease, whose initial stages involve the …

Backround: Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of endothelial adhesion molecules,
vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall characterized by monocyte
infiltration in response to pro‐atherogenic factors such as oxidized lipids. Recently, the role …

Atherosclerosis is increasingly thought to be a chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation
requires transmigration of leukocytes from the circulation to the tissues. Adhesion of …

Atherosclerosis is now recognized to be an inflammatory disease, and several inflammatory
markers have been shown to be associated with both the presence and future risk of …

The recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes and formation of intimal macrophage-rich
lesions at specific sites of the arterial tree are key events in atherogenesis. Inducible …

Focal recruitment of monocytes and lymphocytes is one of the earliest detectable cellular
responses in the formation of lesions of atherosclerosis. This localized accumulation of …
