Functionality of C-Reactive Protein for Atheroprotection

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).

Insights on nitrate respiration by Shewanella [PDF]

, 2015
Shewanellae are well known for their ability to utilize a number of electron acceptors and are therefore considered to have important roles in element cycling in the environment, such as nitrogen cycling through dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia

Heart matters: How glucose‐ and lipid‐modulating drugs remodel epicardial adipose tissue accumulation, inflammatory patterns and browning

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 878-894, February 2026.
Abstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, exerting direct paracrine and vasocrine effects on the heart and coronary vessels. Under physiological conditions, EAT supports myocardial energy metabolism and thermoregulation through fatty acid supply and

The Multiple Faces of C-Reactive Protein—Physiological and Pathophysiological Implications in Cardiovascular Disease

Molecules, 2019
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an intriguing protein which plays a variety of roles in either physiological or pathophysiological states. For years it has been regarded merely as a useful biomarker of infection, tissue injury and inflammation, and it was ...

Monomeric CRP and negative acute phase proteins, but not pentameric CRP, as biomarkers of major depression and MDMD

Acta Neuropsychiatrica
Abstract Background: Contrary to the negative acute-phase protein (APP) response, there is no consistent correlation between serum pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) and major depression (MDD). Monomeric CRP (mCRP), a dissociation product of pCRP under immune-inflammatory conditions, exhibits

Analysis of the interaction of calcitriol with the disulfide isomerase ERp57 [PDF]

, 2016
Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, can regulate the gene expression through the binding to the nuclear receptor VDR, but it can also display nongenomic actions, acting through a membrane- associated receptor, which has been discovered as the ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Maleic Anhydride and Its Derivatives: A Brief Review of Reactivity and Properties in Radical (Co)Polymerizations

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 46, Issue 24, December 18, 2025.
Maleic anhydride (MAnh) and its derivatives are underutilized monomer classes, each with unique reactivities and properties, which afford the synthesis of highly functional (co)polymers. This review explores the current understanding, opportunities, and limitations associated with maleic anhydride and its derivatives in conventional radical and ...
