Abstract excerpt
Prevention of restenosis after coronary intervention is a major clinical challenge, which highlights the need of new therapeutic options. Vascular injury may involve inflammatory responses that accelerate the recruitment and activation of monocytes through the activation of chemotactic factors, including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). However, there is no definitive evidence supporting the role of...
