چکیده
C-reactive protein (CRP) and cardiovascular disease is a very hot topic at present. Excitement and interest have spilled over dramatically from the scientific literature into the media and popular press leading to much speculative comment. However, rigorously controlled and reproducible studies are now laying the basis for a more realistic consensus. The article in this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology from Carmen van den Berg’s laboratory makes a notable contribution to this process.1
