Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition is an inflammation-induced process by which endothelial cells can transdifferentiate into fibroblasts. Based on the endothelial-protective and antifibrotic effects of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), we aimed to investigate whether HDL can reduce endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
