Endothelial Protective Monocyte Patrolling in Large Arteries Intensified by Western Diet and AtherosclerosisNovelty and Significance

Rationale: Nonclassical mouse monocyte (CX3CR1high, Ly-6Clow) patrolling along the vessels of the microcirculation is critical for endothelial homeostasis and inflammation. Because of technical challenges, it is currently not established how patrolling occurs in large arteries.Objective: This study was undertaken to elucidate the molecula...More
