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.

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

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]
, 2002 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.
