CXCL10 is able to regulate a cascade of inflammatory responses by binding to specific CXCR3 receptor,regarded as vital manifestations in cardiovascular diseases( CVD). The purpose of this review is to describe the functions of CXCL10 in different CVDs and discuss the possibility of utilizing CXCL10 as a potential biomarker in CVD study pattern.Read More
