Kupffer cells dictate hepatic responses to the atherogenic dyslipidemic insult
S. Hellberg, O. Ahmed, Y. Zhang, G. Di Nunzio, H. M. Bjorck, R. Francis, L. Fagerberg, A. Gistera, X. Zhang, J. Metso, V. Manfe, Y. Soto, A. Franco-Cereceda, P. Eriksson, M. Jauhiainen, , S. G. Malin
The paper investigates how Kupffer cells in the liver respond to atherogenic dyslipidemia and show they regulate systemic atherosclerosis by restraining lipoproteins and secreting pro-atherosclerotic factors.
