Exogenous interleukin 37 ameliorates atherosclerosis via inducing the Treg response in ApoE-deficient mice
Abstract Our previous study indicated that interleukin (IL)-37 is involved in atherosclerosis. In the present study, Anterior tibial arteries were collected from diabetes patients and controls. A histopathological analysis showed that IL-37 was over-expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques. Many t...
