New Research: Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 3 (Crp3) as a critical regulator of elastolysis, inflammation, and smooth muscle cell apoptosis in abdominal aortic aneurysm development https://t.co/6Xxg1kJBbo #Physiology
New Research: Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 3 (Crp3) as a critical regulator of elastolysis, inflammation, and smooth muscle cell apoptosis in abdominal aortic aneurysm development https://t.co/6Xxg1kJBbo #Physiology
This paper expands upon prior findings that CRP3 sensitizes vasc SMCs to apoptosis when subjected to stretching. We provide evidence that it also plays a significant role in the context of abdominal aneurysms affecting elastolysis & inflammation. https
