Role of CD44 and its v7 isoform in staphylococcal enterotoxin B-induced toxic shock : CD44 deficiency on hepatic mononuclear cells leads to reduced activation-induced apoptosis that results in increased liver damage [PDF]
Exposure to bacterial superantigens such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) leads to the induction of toxic shock syndrome which results in multiorgan failure, including liver damage.

Receptors for hyaluronic acid and poliovirus: a combinatorial role in glioma invasion? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: CD44 has long been associated with glioma invasion while, more recently, CD155 has been implicated in playing a similar role. Notably, these two receptors have been shown closely positioned on monocytes.

Abrogation of experimental colitis correlates with increased apoptosis in mice deficient for CD44 variant exon 7 (CD44v7) [PDF]
Experimental colitis in mice is characterized by infiltration of activated T helper (Th) cells and macrophages into the lamina propria. Particularly, these cells expressed CD44 variant exon 7 (CD44v7)-containing isoforms.
