Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Adhering to Cholesterol Crystals Modulates Inflammatory Cytokines Release and Promotes Their Disruption: Insights In Situ Touch-imprints Method From Non-obstructive General Angioscopy

Both macrophages and neutrophils are recognized as innate immune cells; the former engulf cholesterol crystals (CCs) while secreting NLRP3, which also promote inflammatory responses and drive the latter into atherosclerotic plaques. Moreover, recent studies have implied a critica...
