Macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques are activated, inflammatory cells that directly
contribute to the disease process. De Nardo et al.(2013), now report that high-density
lipoproteins (HDL) can reprogram macrophages to be less inflammatory through an ATF3-
dependent pathway, providing another mechanistic basis for the atheroprotective properties
of HDL.
