The lumen shows individual macrophages residing on the surface of a fibroatheromatous plaque. a, b 3D rendering and cross-sectional images showing an individual cell (yellow arrows) that appears to be transmigrating through the endothelium towards a deposit of intimal crystals (red arrows). c, d 3D rendering and cross-sectional images showing two macrophages tethered to the endothelial surface, polarised towards one another with extended pseudopodia (blue arrow). Scale bars: 50 μm.
