MCRP: Multiple Chain Routing Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Homogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]

2019 International Conference on Advanced Science and Engineering (ICOASE), 2019
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) comprise a wide variety of applications. In most of the applications, the sensor nodes are distributed in a hostile area and nodes in WSNs are energy constrained, once it is installed, it would be difficult to recharge the

IgG4-related acute interstitial nephritis and the potential role of mCRP autoantibodies: a case report [PDF]

Renal Failure, 2019
Background: IgG4-related acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is a type of autoimmune-mediated interstitial nephritis. Recently, autoantibodies against modified C-reactive protein (mCRP) were found to play a pathogenic role in renal diseases through the ...

The Role of Anti-mCRP Autoantibodies in Lupus Nephritis

Kidney Diseases, 2023
Background: Lupus nephritis is characterized by multiple autoantibodies production. However, there are few autoantibodies associated with disease activity and prognosis.

mCRP triggers angiogenesis by inducing F3 transcription and TF signalling in microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2017
© Schattauer 2017. Inflammation contributes to vascular disease progression. However, the role of circulating inflammatory molecules on microvascular endothelial cell (mECs) is not fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of

Higher monomeric C-reactive protein levels are associated with premature coronary artery disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionChronic inflammation is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Currently, the inflammatory cardiovascular risk is assessed via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels measured using a high-sensitivity assay (hsCRP).

Monomeric C reactive protein (mCRP) regulates inflammatory responses in human and mouse chondrocytes [PDF]

Laboratory Investigation, 2021
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein that is used as an established biomarker to follow disease severity and progression in a plethora of inflammatory diseases. However, its pathophysiologic mechanisms of action are still poorly defined and remain elusive. CRP, in its pentameric form, exhibits weak anti-inflammatory activity.

C-reactive protein dissociation drives choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and inflammation play an important role in retinal disease development and the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP) has been shown to contribute to Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in vitro.

A conformational change of C-reactive protein drives neutrophil extracellular trap formation in inflammation [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background C-reactive protein (CRP) represents a routine diagnostic marker of inflammation. Dissociation of native pentameric CRP (pCRP) into the monomeric structure (mCRP) liberates proinflammatory features, presumably contributing to excessive immune ...

TEO-MCRP: Thermal exchange optimization-based clustering routing protocol with a mobile sink for wireless sensor networks

Journal of King Saud University - Computer and Information Sciences, 2022
Sensor nodes consume their energy quickly due to their continuous perception, routing, and internal circuit mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Especially, the nodes that are close to the sink node consume their energy more quickly, causing the hot spot problem.

Fueling the flames of colon cancer – does CRP play a direct pro-inflammatory role? [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundSystemic inflammation, diagnostically ascribed by measuring serum levels of the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP), has consistently been correlated with poor outcomes across cancer types.
