1/ Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors may accelerate atherosclerosis through arterial inflammation. Using four sequential [¹⁸F]FDG PET scans, this study shows an increase in arterial inflammation in ICI-treated patients @VascImmunLab @alexm_official @dirkwestermann @chris67 ...

🚨 Save the date! We’re excited to invite you to the 2nd Joint Spring School 2025, hosted by the @DGK_org working groups for Vascular Biology, Atherosclerosis in the clinic, and Heart & Diabetes. 📅 March 14–15, 2025 herzmedizin.de/fuer-aerzte-un…

Ever wondered whether atherosclerotic mice are a good model for human atherosclerosis? Check out our latest paper: Cross-species single-cell RNA sequencing in human carotid and experimental murine atherosclerosis academic.oup.com/cardiovascres/…

Thank you for the feature, Annette, and thank you to the organizers for inviting me to present at #FCVB2024 Big kudos to the team and particularly @hauke_horstmann and Teresa Gerhardt

Unraveling the mechanisms of macrophage IL-1β release by #AirPollution PM2.5 uptake in our latest publication, led by @lourcatalina in collaboration with @HilgendorfIngo, Eva Rog-Zielinska, and @olafgross_lab @VascImmunLab @UHZ_UNIFreiburg @sfb1425 ↪️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Research| Piollet, Porsch, et al. report that the myeloid receptor #TREM2 limits necrotic core formation in #atherosclerosis and controls key atherosclerosis-related functions of macrophages, such as efferocytosis, lipid uptake, and foam cell survival. 👉 rdcu.be/dAY2o

CHIP-mutated macrophages do not preferentially accumulate in cardiovascular tissue but show a pro-inflammatory signature in patients. Stay tuned as we unravel CHIP complexities for cardiovascular well-being @dirkwestermann @hauke_horstmann ahajrnls.org/3Uzbpd3
