The association of profilin-1 levels with survival in chronic kidney disease
(WILEY, 2017)
BackgroundProfilin-1 is a ubiquitous, actin-binding protein that plays an important role in the regulation of actin polymerization and cytoskeleton remodelling and contributes to vascular dysfunction. We conducted this ...
Chitotriosidase as a novel biomarker of early atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients
