Impact of chemotactic factors and receptors on the cancer immune infiltrate: a bioinformatics study revealing homogeneity and heterogeneity among patient cohorts [PDF]
OncoImmunology, 2018 Multiple soluble factors including proteins (in particular chemokines), non-proteinaceous factors released by dead cells, as well as receptors for such factors (in particular chemokine receptors, formyl peptide receptors and purinergic receptors ...

Control of human endometrial stromal cell motility by PDGF-BB, HB-EGF and trophoblast-secreted factors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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 ...

Identification of N-formylated Peptides with Neutrophilic Chemotactic Activity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Zoonoses, 2022 Neutrophil infiltration of the lungs is associated with granuloma formation and the severity of tuberculosis infection. Although several cytokines and chemokines are known to contribute to lung neutrophil infiltration, the neutrophilic chemotactic ...

Kinetics of Circulating Progenitor Cells and Chemotactic Factors in Full-Term Neonates with Encephalopathy: Indications of Participation in the Endogenous Regenerative Process [PDF]
BiomoleculesPreclinical studies have shown that progenitor cells (PCs) are mobilized toward injured tissues to ameliorate damage and contribute to regeneration. The exogenous therapeutic administration of PCs in children affected by neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a

AN EOSINOPHIL LEUKOCYTE CHEMOTACTIC FACTOR OF ANAPHYLAXIS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1971 The capacity of actively or passively sensitized guinea pig lung to react with antigen to release a factor specifically chemotactic for eosinophil leukocytes (ECF-A) has been demonstrated. The release of ECF-A was also accompanied by the elaboration of both histamine and SRS-A and the appearance of all these mediators exhibited a similar response in ...

Endothelin-1 Stimulates Monocytes in vitro to Release Chemotactic Activity Identified as Interleukin-8 and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 In the present study we examined whether endothelin-1 stimulation of human monocytes causes release of chemotactic factors. It was found that monocytes released neutrophil- and monocyte-chemotactic activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner in ...

Automated Real-Time Measurement of Chemotactic Cell Motility
BioTechniques, 2001 We have developed a novel method, (ECIS/taxis), for monitoring cell movement in response to chemotactic and chemokinetic factors. In this system, cells migrate in an under-agarose environment, and their positions are monitored using the electric cell ...

CXCL8 mediates macrophage migration in canine oral malignant melanoma [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration is associated with poor prognosis in human patients with melanoma. However, the mechanism by which TAMs infiltrate tumor tissues in dogs remains unclear.

The glia-neutrophil axis: an understudied crosstalk in bacteria-induced neuroinflammation [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyBacterial infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by rapid and devastating neuroinflammation. While inflammation plays an important physiological role in defense against bacteria, such responses within the confines of the cranium
