Dj1 deficiency protects against atherosclerosis with anti-inflammatory response in macrophages
Abstract Inflammation is a key contributor to atherosclerosis with macrophages playing a pivotal role through the induction of oxidative stress and cytokine/chemokine secretion. DJ1, an anti-oxidant protein, has shown to paradoxically protect against chronic and acute inflammation. However, the role...
