NLRP3 Inflammasome and the IL-1 Pathway in Atherosclerosis.

abstract：:Although it has been established that myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) plays pivotal roles in the development of the cardiovascular system as well as skeletal muscle cells, little is known of its role in vascular inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. To investigate the role of...
