Analysis of Proteome and Pathophysiological Characteristics of Human Blood Cells

February 15, 2021 updated by: Klinik für Kardiologie, Pneumologie und Angiologie, Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf
The aim of this study is to investigate wether change in endothelial nitric oxid synthase of blood cells (erythrocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)) has an influence on development and progression of cardiovascular diseases.
