The effect of cholesteryl ester transfer protein overexpression and inhibition on reverse cholesterol transport.

abstract：:Chemokines, originally discovered as mediators of directional migration of immune cells to sites of inflammation and injury, have a function beyond their role in leukocyte chemotaxis. Indeed, they participate in organ development, angiogenesis, tumourigenesis and, more importantly, in the immune response. The chemokin...
