Ilexoside K Ameliorates Atherosclerosis by Suppressing CD72hi Macrophages and Blocking CXCL12–CXCR4 Axis to Inhibit Endothelial Pyroptosis

ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading global cause of mortality, with substantial residual inflammatory risk persisting despite statin therapy. We identify a c‐Rel‐driven CD72hi macrophage subset markedly enriched in human and murine atherosclerotic plaques, whose abundance correla...
