Happy to share this Review article on the contribution of the cells in the arterial wall to athero plaque formation. We hope that monocyte/macrophages are ok with sharing the spotlight 😁.

Thank you @JMCCardiology for highlighting our findings on the unique role of TIMPs in regional heterogeneity of the aorta in aneurysm development. Lots of meticulous experiments and staining done by Dr. Hu @MeiHu060991 !

Interesting! It turns out that genetic defects have a major role in end-stage failing human hearts.
