Ligand-Receptor Interactions

open access: yes, 2008
The formation and dissociation of specific noncovalent interactions between a variety of macromolecules play a crucial role in the function of biological systems.

Circulating tumor cells isolation: The “post-EpCAM era” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent a submicroscopic fraction detached from a primary tumor and in transit to a secondary site. The prognostic significance of CTCs in metastatic cancer patients was demonstrated for the first time more than ten years

Morris Water Maze Learning in Two Rat Strains Increases the Expression of the Polysialylated Form of the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule in the Dentate Gyrus But Has No Effect on Hippocampal Neurogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In the current study, the authors investigated whether Morris water maze learning induces alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis or neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) polysialylation in the dentate gyrus.

Membrane adhesion and domain formation

open access: yes, 2007
We review theoretical results for the adhesion-induced phase behavior of biomembranes. The focus is on models in which the membranes are represented as discretized elastic sheets with embedded adhesion molecules. We present several mechanism that lead to

In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging of E-Selectin: Quantitative Detection of Endothelial Activation in Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic progressive systemic inflammatory disease, characterized by synovial inflammation and localized destruction of cartilage and bone.

The F-BAR protein pacsin2 inhibits asymmetric VE-cadherin internalization from tensile adherens junctions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Cell-cell adhesion of endothelial tissue, mediated by the adhesion molecule VE-cadherin, is tightly regulated. Here the authors show that the F-BAR domain protein pacsin2 is recruited to the trailing end of mechanically unbalanced Focal Adherens ...

Glycocalyx Degradation in Retinal and Choroidal Capillary Endothelium in Rats with Diabetes and Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Endothelial glycocalyx (GCX) has been reported as a protective factor for vascular endothelial cells (VEC) in diabetes and hypertension. However, the involvement of GCX impairment in ocular vasculopathy remains unclear.

Platelet-collagen adhesion: evidence for participation of antigenically distinct entities. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Univalent antibody fragments prepared from a rabbit antiserum raised against whole human platelets completely inhibited adhesion of platelets to immobilized trimeric collagen in a defined, Mg2+-dependent, adhesion assay.

Flavopiridol Protects Against Inflammation by Attenuating Leukocyte-Endothelial Interaction via Inhibition of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objective: The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor flavopiridol is currently being tested in clinical trials as anticancer drug. Beyond its cell death–inducing action, we hypothesized that flavopiridol affects inflammatory processes.

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...
