Brief description Vascular disease is a major cause of death and disability through events such as heart attack and stroke. A blood cell, called a macrophage, plays a major detrimental role. However, we have identified the presence of an alternate form of this cell in vascular disease that we propose may play an opposing, beneficial role. We will thus re-define the role of the macrophage in vascular disease and predict that we will be able to demonstrate an alternate healing role. This will provide a new therapeutic approach for treatment of atherosclerosis.
