Abstract
The abundant presence of macrophages and activated T cells in atherosclerotic plaques suggests an active involvement of the immune system in this cardiovascular disease. However, insight into cellular interactions inducing relevant effector functions is still limited. Here, Jon Laman and colleagues propose that local interactions between CD40 and CD40 ligand may induce multiple activities by different cell types contributing to atherosclerosis.
