Metallothionein mediates leukocyte chemotaxis [PDF]
BMC Immunology, 2005 Background Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich, metal-binding protein that can be induced by a variety of agents. Modulation of MT levels has also been shown to alter specific immune functions.

Signal-activated phospholipase regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Signal-activated phospholipases are a recent focus of the rapidly growing field of lipid signaling. The extent of their impact on the pathways regulating diverse cell functions is beginning to be appreciated.

Combined Antiplatelet Therapy Reduces the Proinflammatory Properties of Activated Platelets
TH Open, 2021 The cause of atherothrombosis is rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic lesions, leading to an increased risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. Here, platelet activation plays a major role, leading to the release of bioactive molecules, for example ...

Role of insulin hormone in modulation of inflammatory phenomena [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo), 2011 Evidence demonstrates the involvement of hormones in thedevelopment of inflammatory response. Inflammation evokes markedstructural alterations of microvasculature, besides migration ofleukocytes from microcirculation to the site of lesion.

Modeling leukocyte-leukocyte non-contact interactions in a lymph node. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The interaction among leukocytes is at the basis of the innate and adaptive immune-response and it is largely ascribed to direct cell-cell contacts. However, the exchange of a number of chemical stimuli (chemokines) allows also non-contact interaction ...

An Agent-Based Interpretation of Leukocyte Chemotaxis in Cancer-on-Chip Experiments
Mathematics, 2022 The present paper was inspired by recent developments in laboratory experiments within the framework of cancer-on-chip technology, an immune-oncology microfluidic chip aiming at studying the fundamental mechanisms of immunocompetent behavior. We focus on

Combined boyden-flow cytometry assay improves quantification and provides phenotypification of leukocyte chemotaxis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chemotaxis has been studied by classical methods that measure chemotactic and random motility responses in vitro, but these methods do not evaluate the total number and phenotype of migrating leukocytes simultaneously.

Monitoring Phosphoinositide Fluxes and Effectors During Leukocyte Chemotaxis and Phagocytosis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The dynamic re-organization of cellular membranes in response to extracellular stimuli is fundamental to the cell physiology of myeloid and lymphoid cells of the immune system.
