Article Synopsis
  • Accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages is vital in forming atherosclerotic plaques, and reduced ZEB1 levels in these cells lead to larger plaques and increased cardiovascular risk.
  • Male mice lacking ZEB1 in myeloid cells show significant lipid build-up and metabolic issues, indicating that ZEB1 deficiency worsens atherosclerosis.
  • Targeted delivery of ZEB1 using nanoparticles can reverse lipid accumulation and reduce plaque formation, suggesting that ZEB1 could be an important therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Acute inflammation can either resolve through immunosuppression or persist, leading to chronic inflammation. These transitions are driven by distinct molecular and metabolic reprogramming of immune cells. The anti-diabetic drug Metformin inhibits acute and chronic inflammation through mechanisms still not fully understood.
