Vascular Immunology Lab

The Vascular Immunology Lab focuses on inflammatory and immune cell mechanisms in cardio-metabolic disease with a particular emphasis on atherosclerosis.

Ever wondered whether atherosclerotic mice are a good model for human atherosclerosis? Check out our latest paper: Cross-species single-cell RNA sequencing in human carotid and experimental murine atherosclerosis https://t.co/7rttBMsf0w

Thank you for the feature, Annette, and thank you to the organizers for inviting me to present at #FCVB2024 Big kudos to the team and particularly @hauke_horstmann and Teresa Gerhardt

Research| Piollet, Porsch, et al. report that the myeloid receptor #TREM2 limits necrotic core formation in #atherosclerosis and controls key atherosclerosis-related functions of macrophages, such as efferocytosis, lipid uptake, and foam cell survival.

CHIP-mutated macrophages do not preferentially accumulate in cardiovascular tissue but show a pro-inflammatory signature in patients. Stay tuned as we unravel CHIP complexities for cardiovascular well-being @dirkwestermann @hauke_horstmann
