Complexity in Association of Virus and Immune Regulators on the Development of Atherosclerosis via Formation of Foam Cells | Biomedgrid

Numerous evidences have associated the relation of bacterial and viral agents with atherosclerosis development. Murine norovirus (MNV) especially MNV-4 has been correlated to the regulation of atherosclerosis development in mice. Different studies have demonstrated variable impacts of MNV-4 infection in murine models of atherosclerosis and in vitro studies. Here, we also included the effect of MNV-3 strain on macrophage foam cell formation in vitro produced by our laboratory.
