This chapter outlines the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing efferocytosis and SPM signalling and how these processes become disrupted during plaque progression, contributing to persistent inflammation and defective clearance of dying cells in atherosclerotic plaques.
Abstract Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory and immunometabolic disease in which plaque macrophages integrate lipid-derived danger signals, metabolic stress and cell-death cues to shape foam-cell formation, necrotic-core expansion, fibrous-cap integrity and plaque vulnerability. Moving beyond the conventional M1...

A framework highlights NETs as both mechanistic drivers and promising therapeutic targets in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and describes the molecular mechanisms of NET formation and the cooperative actions of NET components as an integrated thrombo‐inflammatory platform.

The present review systematically delineated the interaction networks between NETs and macrophages, monocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and platelets, untangling NETs as a central hub that integrates the pathological triad of inflammation, thrombosis and fibrosis in cardiovascular diseases.

Hypertension is a leading cause of global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, yet its primary etiology remains poorly defined. Accumulating evidence increasingly positions inflammation as a key determinant of disease progression, with both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms playing central roles. Under physiolog...

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have emerged as critical mediators in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD), linking innate immunity, thrombosis, and vascular inflammation. This review offers a comprehensive overview of NETs across the spectrum of CHD, ranging from chronic atherosclerotic plaque develo...
