Cell biology and invasion of the microsporidia

Microbes and Infection, 2001
Microsporidia are amitochondrial eukaryotic obligate intracellular parasites. They are reported to infect every animal group from protists to vertebrates, including humans. Microsporidia are of interest as opportunistic pathogens in humans and for certain characteristics which raise questions about their evolution and phylogenetic position. This review

Cell migration and invasion assays

Methods, 2005
The processes of cell migration and invasion are integral to embryonic development and the functioning of adult organisms. Deregulation of these processes contributes to numerous diseases. Ras GTPases and in particular members of the Rho subfamily of GTPases play critical roles in cell migration and invasion.

Babesia and red cell invasion

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2012
Babesiosis is a zoonosis, a disease communicable from animals to humans and an important blood-borne human parasitic infection. Despite its public health impact, its study has largely been neglected. The objective of this review is to present up-to-date information on both parasite and red blood cell molecules that function at the host-parasite ...

Fibronectin in cell adhesion and invasion

Cancer and Metastasis Review, 1984
Fibronectin plays a major role in the adhesion of many cell types. The extent of cell adhesion in vitro is related not only to the ability of the cells to interact with matrix-bound fibronectin, when it is present, but also to the synthesis or lack of synthesis of fibronectin by the cells, and to the lack of deposition of synthesized fibronectin into ...

Modulators of cancer cell invasiveness

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2010
AbstractCell invasiveness is essential for cancer metastasis. Many proteins, and more recently also non‐coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), have been reported to affect the cell invasiveness of various cancers. There is an apparent gap between the high number of these macromolecules and the low number of signaling pathways experimentally ...

An introduction to cell migration and invasion

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2001
This introduction to the current understanding of cell migration and invasion indicates how these cellular processes are essential in a variety of physiological events, as well as in the pathophysiology of clinical diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and preeclampsia.

Invasiveness of endometriotic cells in vitro

The Lancet, 1995
The pathogenesis of endometriosis is not known. The currently favoured theory is that viable endometrial cells, shed from the endometrium into the pelvic cavity by retrograde menstruation, reattach and invade other tissues. We used a collagen gel invasion assay to assess invasive potential of endometriotic cells.

Cell adhesion in invasion and metastasis

Seminars in Cell Biology, 1992
Metastatic cells exhibit considerable flexibility in their adhesive interactions with other cells or components of the extracellular matrix. This review will describe the involvement of specific adhesion receptors, extracellular matrix molecules and cell dissociating cytokines in the metastatic cascade.

Cell invasion by Theileria sporozoites

Trends in Parasitology, 2003
Abstract Theileria are intracellular protozoan parasites of veterinary importance, and their impact on livestock production in many developing countries has a significant negative effect on the quality of human life. Host cell invasion is a crucial aspect of Theileria biology.

Cancer Cell Invasion and Metastasis

Scientific American, 1992
The most life-threatening aspect of cancer is the undetected spread of tumor cells throughout the body. Improved understanding of how these cells invade tissues is leading to new treatments.
