Elevated CD56 (NCAM1) expression is associated with immune activation and disease severity in atherosclerosis: clinical and transcriptomic validation study
Purpose: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid accumulation within the arterial wall and immune dysregulation. Reliable immune-related biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease severity assessment remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between CD56 (NCAM1) ge...
