Hello Everyone,
Tomorrow I will be presenting a Nature article titled “NLRP3 inflammasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals”. This article describes how formation of cholesterol crystals in arteries lead to the recruitment of macrophages and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. I have attached the manuscript as well as the supplementary figures. As usual, bagels will be provided.
