Dual implication of endothelial adhesion molecules in tumor progression and cancer immunity [PDF]
Adhesion molecules are proteins expressed at the surface of various cell types. Their main contribution to immunity is to allow the infiltration of immune cells in an inflamed site.

Circulating LPS from gut microbiota leverages stenosis-induced deep vein thrombosis in mice
Objective and design An accumulating body of evidence has shown that gut microbiota is involved in regulating inflammation; however, it remains undetermined if and how gut microbiota plays an important role in modulating deep venous thrombosis (DVT ...

Adhesion molecules: a way to understand lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a connective disease in which all vitally important organs may be affected. The etiology of the disease is largely unknown and almost all immunological mechanisms have been proposed as the pathophysiological background of ...

The adhesion molecules of inflammation [PDF]
BRUCE N. CRONSTEIN and GERALD WEISSMANN Inflammation is characterized by the accumula- tion of leukocytes and other mesenchymal cells at sites of injury or infection. When inflammation results from invasion by a microorganism, the inflammatory re- sponse is designed to localize, destroy, and eliminate the offending organism. However, persistent inflam-

Adhesion molecules and pancreatitis [PDF]
Acute and chronic pancreatitises are gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, the incidence of which is increasing worldwide. Most (~ 80%) acute pancreatitis (AP) patients have mild disease, and about 20% have severe disease, which causes multiple organ failure and has a high mortality rate.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in Fibrotic Diseases
Mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence suggests that cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are critical in fibrotic progression in many organs, including lung, kidney, skin, and liver.

Sharpin suppresses β1-integrin activation by complexing with the β1 tail and kindlin-1
Background Previously sharpin has been identified as an endogenous inhibitor of β1-integrin activation by directly binding to a conserved region in the cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of the integrin β1-associated α subunits. Methods Here we employed biochemical

Demystified ... adhesion molecules. [PDF]
The cell adhesion molecules are ubiquitous recognition molecules that allow cells to communicate with one another and their environment. Through these molecules, complex alterations in the cytoplasmic messenger pathways and the microfilamentous cytoskeleton can lead to profound alterations in cell division, differentiation, behaviour, and function (fig

VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 serum levels as markers of relapse in visceral leishmaniasis
Objectives-Methods. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterized by chronicity and relapses despite efficacious treatment. Acute and chronic inflammatory processes and concomitant disturbances in cell adhesion characterize the pathogenesis of the disease.
