Single-cell to pre-clinical evaluation of <i>Trem2</i> , <i>Folr2</i> , and <i>Slc7a7</i> as macrophage-associated biomarkers for atherosclerosis

Our findings provide novel insights into macrophage-specific gene programmes during atherosclerosis progression and identify a set of promising biomarkers that can serve as a resource for future studies. These findings could significantly contribute to improving the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of atherosclerosis.
