Nature medicine, 2008•nature.comFor years, researchers have debated whether the enzyme lipoprotein-associated
phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), produced by inflammatory cells, is a'good guy'or'bad guy'in
atherosclerosis. Work in pigs provides strong support for the view that Lp-PLA2 promotes the
formation of atherosclerotic lesions and dangerous, unstable atherosclerotic plaques (pages
1059–1066).
