C-reactive protein exerts angiogenic effects on vascular endothelial cells and modulates associated signalling pathways and gene expression
BACKGROUND: Formation of haemorrhagic neovessels in the intima of developing atherosclerotic plaques is thought to significantly contribute to plaque instability resulting in thrombosis. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant whose expression in the vascular wall, in particular, in reac...
