Legionnaires' disease (LD) is an often severe and potentially fatal form of bacterial
pneumonia caused by an extensive list of Legionella species. These ubiquitous freshwater …

This review aimed to trace the inflammatory pathway from the NLRP3 inflammasome to
monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. CRP is the …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important mediator and a hallmark of the acute-phase
response to inflammation. High-sensitivity assays that accurately measure levels of CRP …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a highly conserved pentraxin with pattern recognition receptor–
like activities. However, despite being used widely as a clinical marker of inflammation, the …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase, predominantly hepatically synthesized protein,
secreted in response to cytokine signaling at sites of tissue injury or infection with the …

Current evidence supports a central role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of
atherosclerosis and diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is an inflammatory atherothrombotic condition …

Besides the well-characterized effect of foods and supplements enriched with plant
sterols/stanols on serum LDL-C concentrations, evidence is now emerging that phytosterols …

Recent developments in our understanding of the pathophysiological events that follow
acute ischaemic stroke suggest an important role for angiogenesis which, through new …

Objective—We studied the impact of native (natCRP) and modified CRP (mCRP) isoforms
on platelet adhesion and thrombus growth under arterial flow. Methods and Results—Blood …
