Key result
Targeting specific macrophage phenotypes may provide a promising and novel approach to prevent atherosclerosis progression by modulating their various roles in plaque development.
Why the study?
Therapeutic approaches to atherosclerosis remain largely limited to lipid lowering and comorbid management, while emerging data on specific macrophage phenotypes may offer novel targeted approaches for treatment.
Targeting specific macrophage phenotypes may provide a promising and novel approach to prevent atherosclerosis progression.

Should not yet alter atherosclerosis management; leaves open macrophage phenotype targeting for prospective validation.
Kawai et al. (2022) conducted a review in Atherosclerosis. Macrophage phenotypes was evaluated. Targeting specific macrophage phenotypes may provide a promising and novel approach to prevent atherosclerosis progression by modulating their various roles in plaque development.
