Increased C-reactive protein is associated with corneal nerve loss and painful neuropathic symptoms in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
Higher circulating C‐reactive protein, a marker of systemic inflammation, is associated with reduced corneal small nerve fiber density in individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among participants with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, CRP levels are highest in those reporting positive neuropathic symptoms such as burning, painful cold, or electric ...

Targeting inflammation to reduce cardiovascular disease risk: a realistic clinical prospect? [PDF]
Data from basic science experiments is overwhelmingly supportive of the causal role of immune-inflammatory response(s) at the core of atherosclerosis, and therefore the theoretical potential to manipulate the inflammatory response to prevent ...

FHR-1 binds to C-reactive protein and enhances rather than inhibits complement activation [PDF]
Factor H (FH)-related protein 1 (FHR-1) is one of the five human factor H-related proteins, which share sequence and structural homology with the alternative pathway complement inhibitor FH.

Targeting C-Reactive Protein in Inflammatory Disease by Preventing Conformational Changes
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentraxin that has long been employed as a marker of inflammation in clinical practice. Recent findings brought up the idea of CRP to be not only a systemic marker but also a mediator of inflammation.
