Demystified ... adhesion molecules. [PDF]
Molecular Pathology, 1998 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

Degradation of connexin 50 protein causes waterclefts in human lens
Open Medicine, 2020 Cataracts are mainly classified into three types: cortical cataracts, nuclear cataracts, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. In addition, retrodots and waterclefts are cataract subtypes that cause decreased visual function.

The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy [PDF]
, 2004 Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected ...

Mycophenolate mofetil inhibits lymphocyte binding and the upregulation of adhesion molecules in acute rejection of rat kidney allografts. [PDF]
, 1996 Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) interacts with purine metabolism and possibly with the expression of adhesion molecules. In the present study, we analysed the expression of these molecules in transplanted kidney allografts treated with RS LBNF1 kidneys were ...
