APOE polymorphism and its effect on plasma C-reactive protein levels in a large general population sample [PDF]
The literature on association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene variations and plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) remains inconsistent, mainly due to low statistical power of previous studies.

Long-term interleukin-6 levels and subsequent risk of coronary heart disease: Two new prospective studies and a systematic review [PDF]
Background The relevance to coronary heart disease (CHD) of cytokines that govern inflammatory cascades, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), may be underestimated because such mediators are short acting and prone to fluctuations.

Pattern matching and pattern discovery algorithms for protein topologies [PDF]
We describe algorithms for pattern matching and pattern learning in TOPS diagrams (formal descriptions of protein topologies). These problems can be reduced to checking for subgraph isomorphism and finding maximal common subgraphs in a restricted ...
