Chromatin modification by lipids and lipoprotein components: an initiating event in atherogenesis?

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:In the last 2 years, significant advances in the understanding of HDL particle structure and the associations between particle structure, function, and atherosclerosis have been made. We will review and provide clinical and epidemiological context to these recent advances. RECENT FINDINGS:Several rec...
