PCSK9-antibodies fail to block PCSK9-induced inflammation in macrophages and cannot recapitulate protective effects of PCSK9-deficiency in experimental myocardial infarction

PCSK9-antibodies fail to block PCSK9-induced inflammation in macrophages and cannot recapitulate protective effects of PCSK9-deficiency in experimental myocardial infarction

Background and aimsProprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays a crucial role in cholesterol homeostasis by regulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor levels.
