Macrophage ILF3 promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm by inducing inflammatory imbalance in male mice
Nature CommunicationsImbalance of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses plays a crucial role in the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms. ILF3, a known modulator of the innate immune response, is involved in cardiovascular diseases.
