In order to determine whether the presence of lipid-laden macrophages in tracheal aspirates is useful diagnostically we prospectively evaluated samples stained with Oil-Red-O in ventilator ...

The study, led by Prof. Charlotte Scott and her team, was published in Immunity and identifies a key role for lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) and LAM-like Kupffer cells (KCs) in promoting recovery ...

In AKI, immune cells known as macrophages produce lipid mediators (LMs), which are lipids with significant physiological ...

Foam cells (arising from lipid-laden macrophages) accumulate and smooth muscle cells proliferate, which results in the growth of the plaque. Inflammatory cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell ...

giving rise to an accumulation of cholesterol in monocytes and macrophages, which may contribute to lipid-laden macrophages amassing in the walls of blood vessels: a process that is central to the ...
