title: Do vascular wall cytokines promote atherogenesis?
abstract: Protein mediators commonly associated with inflammatory and immune responses may also convey signals among vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, thereby mediating the evolution of hyperplastic arterial disease. A picture is emerging in which cytokine expression, lipoprotein modification, and atheroma development are interlocking processes.
