Control of human endometrial stromal cell motility by PDGF-BB, HB-EGF and trophoblast-secreted factors [PDF]
Human implantation involves extensive tissue remodeling at the fetal-maternal interface. It is becoming increasingly evident that not only trophoblast, but also decidualizing endometrial stromal cells are inherently motile and invasive, and likely ...

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Reconstitution of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niches in Culture [PDF]
SummarySpermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) reside in specific niches within seminiferous tubules. These niches are thought to secrete chemotactic factors for SSCs, because SSCs migrate to them upon transplantation. However, the identity of these chemotactic

Chemotactic Activity in Dialyzable Transfer Factor [PDF]
Dialyzable transfer factor from human leukocytes was found to be strongly chemotactic for granulocytes and weakly chemotactic for monocytes in vitro . Chemotactic properties were also demonstrated in vivo in rhesus monkey skin.

Long-time behavior of an angiogenesis model with flux at the tumor boundary [PDF]
This paper deals with a nonlinear system of partial differential equations modeling a simplified tumor-induced angiogenesis taking into account only the interplay between tumor angiogenic factors and endothelial cells.

Mathematical models for chemotaxis and their applications in self-organisation phenomena [PDF]
Chemotaxis is a fundamental guidance mechanism of cells and organisms, responsible for attracting microbes to food, embryonic cells into developing tissues, immune cells to infection sites, animals towards potential mates, and mathematicians into biology.

Blood polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis during experimental escherichia-coli bovine mastitis. [PDF]
The relationship between the severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis and the chemotactic response of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated before and during mastitis. Experimental E.

Severity of experimental escherichia-coli mastitis in ketonemic and nonketonemic dairy-cows. [PDF]
The severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis in relation to in vitro chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated in cows during negative energy balance. The negative energy balance was induced by feed restriction.

A Chemotactic Factor for Mononuclear Leukocytes
SummaryChemotactic activity for mononuclear leukocytes was produced when highly purified guinea pig C5 was cleaved by trypsin or by the earlier acting complement components. This chemotactic activity was mediated by C5a, a fragmentation product of the fifth component of complement.
