TY - JOUR T1 - Monomeric C-Reactive Protein – A Feature of Inflammatory Disease Associated With Cardiovascular Pathophysiological Complications? JF - In Vivo JO - In Vivo SP - 693 LP - 697 DO - 10.21873/invivo.12309 VL - 35 IS - 2 AU - YASMIN ZEINOLABEDINY AU - SHANT KUMAR AU - MARK SLEVIN Y1 - 2021/03/01 UR - http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/35/2/693.abstract N2 - Monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP), the dissociated form of native C-reactive protein, is a critical molecule that causes and perpetuates inflammation in serious diseases. It has ‘adhesive’-like properties causing aggregation of blood cells and platelets, and can stick permanently within arterial tissue where it can contribute to further complications including thrombosis, linking it potentially to atherosclerosis and subsequent acute coronary events. In this mini review, we discuss briefly the implications and the potential value of measuring and manipulating it for clinical diagnostics and therapeutic purposes. ER -
