Clinical significance of chemokine receptor (CCR1, CCR2 and CXCR4) expression in human myeloma cells: the association with disease activity and survival

open access: yesHaematologica, 2006
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The capacity of multiple myeloma (MM) cells to home to and reside in the bone marrow implies that they must be equipped with appropriate adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors to allow transendothelial migration.

The Role of Chemokines in Breast Cancer Pathology and Its Possible Use as Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2014
Chemokines are small proteins that primarily regulate the traffic of leukocytes under homeostatic conditions and during specific immune responses. The chemokine-chemokine receptor system comprises almost 50 chemokines and approximately 20 chemokine ...

Chemokines, chemokine receptors and the gastrointestinal system

open access: yesWorld Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013
The biological properties of tumor cells are known to be regulated by a multitude of cytokines and growth factors, which include epidermal growth factor receptor agonists and members of the transforming growth factor β family. Furthermore, the recent explosion of research in the field of chemokine function as mediators of tumor progression has led to ...

Atypical chemokine receptors : from silence to sound [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ACRs (atypical chemokine receptors) were initially referred to as 'silent' receptors on the basis of a lack of signalling and functional activities that are typically observed with conventional chemokine receptors.

Near‐Infrared Light‐Activated Polydopamine Nanoparticles Conjugated With Transferrin Peptides for Enhanced Brain Accumulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Tf‐PDA NPs combine a receptor‐mediated targeting with mild photothermal activation to enhance nanoparticle accumulation in the brain. NIR‐activated Tf‐PDA NPs increase BBB permeability to NPs in vitro and in vivo without inducing cytotoxicity or adverse immune responses.

Hetero‐Oligomerization of Chemokine Receptors

open access: yes, 2009
Although traditionally assumed to be monomeric signaling units, G[hyphen (true graphic)]protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to exist as dimers/oligomers.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Biased and G protein-independent signaling of chemokine receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Biased signaling or functional selectivity occurs when a 7TM receptor preferentially activates one of several available pathways. It can be divided into three distinct forms: ligand bias, receptor bias, and tissue or cell bias, where it is mediated by ...

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Chemokine ligand-receptor interactions as potential therapeutic targets for atopic dermatitis: from basic to clinical research

open access: yesFrontiers in Allergy
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that commonly causes eczema accompanied by severe itching on pathological skin lesions. Although the pathological mechanisms are not fully understood, epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune ...
