Characterization of serum anyloid P and Fc gamma receptor: A critical engagement implicated in fibrosing diseases

Fibrotic diseases have a poor prognosis with no FDA approved therapies. Monocyte-derived, fibroblast-like cells called fibrocytes participate in the formation of fibrotic lesions. The conserved pentraxin protein serum amyloid P (SAP) inhibits fibrocyte differentiation in cell culture, and injections...
