Galectin-1 induces macrophage immunometabolic reprogramming, modulates T cell immunity and attenuates atherosclerotic plaque formation

This study shows that Galectin-1 reduces atherosclerotic plaque formation by reprogramming macrophages and modulating T cell immunity through both glycan-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Self-Reactive B Cells in Artery Tertiary Lymphoid Organs Encode Pathogenic High Affinity Autoantibody in Atherosclerosis

The paper identifies self-reactive B cells in atherosclerosis-associated tertiary lymphoid organs that produce high-affinity autoantibodies contributing to disease progression.

Endothelial cannabinoid CB1 receptor deficiency reduces arterial inflammation and lipid uptake in response to atheroprone shear stress

This paper shows that blocking endothelial CB1 receptors reduces arterial inflammation and lipid uptake under atheroprone shear stress, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for atherosclerosis.
