IL-17RC signaling connects intestinal microbiota and neuroimmune interactions in atherosclerosis

Aleksandra Mazitova, Jiani Zhu, Richard Rosario Rodrigues…·Ekaterina K. Koltsova

This study shows IL-17RC signaling in the intestine prevents atherosclerosis by controlling microbiota and perivascular innervation, with loss of IL-17RC increasing inflammation and disease.
