Stylized depiction of a lipid-laden macrophage showing a purple nucleus and numerous cytoplasmic lipid droplets. In biological hierarchy, this immune cell resides within atherosclerotic plaque in the arterial intima of the cardiovascular system. In pathology and histology, it forms after uptake of LDL (low-density lipoprotein), especially oxLDL (oxidized LDL), via scavenger receptors. Functionally, it stores cholesterol esters but drives chronic inflammation and plaque progression during atherogenesis.
