Influence of cell surface characteristics on adhesion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the biomaterial hydroxylapatite [PDF]
The influence of the physicochemical properties of biomaterials on microbial cell adhesion is well known, with the extent of adhesion depending on hydrophobicity, surface charge, specific functional groups and acid–base properties.

Differential Roles of Dendritic Cells in Expanding CD4 T Cells in Sepsis
Sepsis is a systemically dysregulated inflammatory syndrome, in which dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in coordinating aberrant immunity. The aim of this study is to shed light on the differential roles played by systemic versus mucosal DCs in ...

Adhesives and adhesion: True chemical compounds as adhesives [PDF]
Adhesives are usually regarded as ill-defined substances of a colloidal nature, typified by glues, gums, resins, pastes and the like. It is the object of the present communication to show that pure substances can fully rival many of the common adhesives.

Nitric oxide: an endogenous modulator of leukocyte adhesion.
The objective of this study was to determine whether endogenous nitric oxide (NO) inhibits leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium. This was accomplished by superfusing a cat mesenteric preparation with inhibitors of NO production, NG-monomethyl-L ...

Irisin supports integrin-mediated cell adhesion of lymphocytes
Irisin, a myokine released from skeletal muscle, has recently been found to act as a ligand for the integrins αVβ5, αVβ1, and α5β1 expressed on mesenchymal cells, thereby playing an important role in the metabolic remodeling of the bone, skeletal muscle ...

Leukocyte-endothelial adhesion molecules.
In the 9 years since the last review on leukocyte and endothelial interactions was published in this journal many of the critical structures involved in leukocyte adherence to and migration across endothelium have been elucidated. With the advent of cell

MicroRNA Profiles in Intestinal Epithelial Cells in a Mouse Model of Sepsis
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disorder that leads to the dysfunction of multiple organs. In the intestine, the deregulation of the epithelial barrier contributes to the development of sepsis by triggering continuous exposure to harmful factors ...

Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity
SH2-containing-inositol-5-phosphatases (SHIPs) dephosphorylate the 5-phosphate of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) and play important roles in regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway in physiology and disease.
