abstract

• Atherosclerosis was once thought to be solely a disease of lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. It does involve lipid accumulation, but inflammation appears to be an important driving factor. Consequently, our laboratory undertook to examine the role(s) of TLRs, and especially TLR2, in murine models of atherosclerosis.
