C-Reactive Protein in Atherothrombosis and Angiogenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a short pentraxin mainly found as a pentamer in the circulation, or as non-soluble monomers CRP (mCRP) in tissues, exerting different functions.

Evolution of C-Reactive Protein [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 C-reactive protein (CRP) is an evolutionarily conserved protein. From arthropods to humans, CRP has been found in every organism where the presence of CRP has been sought.

C-Reactive Protein and Arteriosclerosis
Mediators of Inflammation, 2014 Although extensively studied and indeed emotionally discussed for more than two decades the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in cardiovascular disease remains controversial. Three major questions are still not yet resolved. (1) Is CRP a clinically relevant marker of cardiovascular risk? (2) Is CRP even more than a risk marker, that is, a risk factor in

, 2012 CRP is phylogenetically a highly conserved plasma protein, with homolog in vertebrates and many invertebrates that participates in the systemic response to inflammation. Its plasma concentration increases during inflammatory states, a character that has long been employed for clinical purposes. CRP is a pattern recognition molecule, binding to specific

C-Reactive protein gene variants are associated with postoperative C-reactive protein levels after coronary artery bypass surgery [PDF]
BMC Medical Genetics, 2009 Background Elevated baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are associated with increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Several CRP gene variants have been associated with altered baseline CRP levels in ambulatory populations. However, the

Diagnostic strategies for C-reactive protein [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2002 Background Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has been identified in prospective epidemiological research as an independent risk marker for cardiovascular disease. In this paper, short-term biological variation of CRP is documented and a strategy to test the

Neurofilaments: The C-Reactive Protein of Neurology [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 Neurofilaments (NFs) are quickly becoming the biomarkers of choice in the field of neurology, suggesting their use as an unspecific screening marker, much like the use of elevated plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) in other fields. With sensitive techniques

Functionality of C-Reactive Protein for Atheroprotection [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric molecule made up of identical monomers. CRP can be seen in three different forms: native pentameric CRP (native CRP), non-native pentameric CRP (non-native CRP), and monomeric CRP (mCRP).

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a phylogenetically highly conserved plasma protein, with homologs in vertebrates and many invertebrates, that participates in the systemic response to inflammation. Its plasma concentration increases during inflammatory states, a characteristic that has long been employed for clinical purposes.

Predicting Cancer Using Supervised Machine Learning: Mesothelioma [PDF]
Technology and Health Care, 29(1), 45-58 (2021), 2021 Background: Pleural Mesothelioma (PM) is an unusual, belligerent tumor that rapidly develops into cancer in the pleura of the lungs. Pleural Mesothelioma is a common type of Mesothelioma that accounts for about 75% of all Mesothelioma diagnosed yearly in the U.S. Diagnosis of Mesothelioma takes several months and is expensive.
