Red Flag for Thrombosis

Hadassah researchers are building on earlier studies in which they proved that CRP, an inflammatory protein in the blood, is not only a leading biomarker for cardiovascular disease, but also a cause of thrombosis (blot clot formation). Having created the first live system to monitor the risk of high CRP levels, they are now developing a drug to block CRP and prevent thrombosis.
