An Approach to Reduce Inflammatory Behavior in Macrophages, Improving Function Atherosclerosis is the name given to the growth of fatty plaques in artery walls. It is universal in later life, and the primary cause of human mortality via heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and so forth. Once a plaque grows past a given size, the mechanisms that caused its creation fade in importance in comparison to very simple feedback loop. The plaque is an inflammatory, damaged environment that attracts macrophage cells from the bloodstream and surrounding tissues.
