The CD163-expressing macrophages recognize and internalize TWEAK: potential consequences in atherosclerosis.

abstract：:Endothelium-derived relaxing and contracting factors play an important role in atherosclerosis, re-stenosis and graft survival. Internal thoracic artery (ITA) and saphenous vein (SV) are used as conduit vessels in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The long-term graft patency rate is higher with ITA than SV....
