TLR7-mediated skin inflammation remotely triggers chemokine expression and leukocyte accumulation in the brain [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The relationship between the brain and the immune system has become increasingly topical as, although it is immune-specialised, the CNS is not free from the influences of the immune system.

Galectokines: The Promiscuous Relationship between Galectins and Cytokines
Biomolecules, 2022 Galectins, a family of glycan-binding proteins, are well-known for their role in shaping the immune microenvironment. They can directly affect the activity and survival of different immune cell subtypes.

Chemokines: What chemokine is that? [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 The discovery of a new and unusual member of the chemokine family illustrates the importance of chemoattractant diversity in the regulation of leukocyte movement through the body. The chemokines are now divisible into four clearly defined subgroups on the basis of structural and functional properties.

The complex nature of CXCR4 mutations in WHIM syndrome
Frontiers in ImmunologyHeterozygous autosomal dominant mutations in the CXCR4 gene cause WHIM syndrome, a severe combined immunodeficiency disorder. The mutations primarily affect the C-terminal region of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor, specifically several potential ...

Chemokines and chemokine receptors: an overview
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines orchestrating leukocyte recruitment in physiological and pathological conditions. This complex system includes 42 molecules and 19 receptors and is subjected to different levels of regulation, including ligand production, post-translational modifications and degradation, as well as receptor expression and signaling ...

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in arthritis [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2010 Chemokines are involved in leukocyte recruitment to inflammatory sites, such as the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is a structural and a functional classification of chemokines. The former includes four groups: CXC, CC, C and CX3C chemokines.

Astrocyte Regulation of CNS Inflammation and Remyelination
Brain Sciences, 2013 Astrocytes regulate fundamentally important functions to maintain central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. Altered astrocytic function is now recognized as a primary contributing factor to an increasing number of neurological diseases.
