Monoclonal antibodies inhibiting fibrin-VLDL receptor-dependent inflammation
Published Tuesday, January 22, 2019Fibrin is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in blood clotting and promotes leukocyte transmigration through its interaction with the endothelial cell receptor, the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor. The VLDL receptor is predominantly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle, fat, brain and macrophages and involved in neural...
