Effect of erythrophagocytosis-induced ferroptosis during angiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaques

82 views | Aug 27 2023

Intraplaque angiogenesis leads to the release of erythrocytes, their phagocytosis by macrophages, and subsequent erythrophagocytosis-induced ferroptosis, which contributes to plaque destabilization in advanced atherosclerosis and can be prevented by the ferroptosis inhibitor UAMC-3203.
