284 nm UVB Phototherapy Regulates Immunoinflammatory Responses and Improves Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability in Mice.
284 nm UVB irradiation in combination with lipid-lowering therapy improves the stability of atherosclerotic plaques by augmenting anti-inflammatory Treg immune responses. The combination of aggressive lipid-lowering therapies and 284 nm UVB phototherapy may serve as an attractive therapeutic approach for high-risk patients with vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
