Chronic inflammation evoked by pathogenic stimulus during carcinogenesis
A pathogenic (biological or chemical) stimulus is the earliest information received by a cell that can result in the disruption of homeostasis with consequent development of disease.

Does the Chemotherapy Protocol Affect CXCL12/CXCR4 Axes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Monocytic Differentiation? [PDF]
Background: The CXCR4 receptor along with CXCL12 is believed to have an effect on the onset, progression, migration, and treatment complications and improve acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment outcomes.

Upregulation of surface feline CXCR4 expression following ectopic expression of CCR5: implications for studies of the cell tropism of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Feline CXCR4 and CCR5 were expressed in feline cells as fusion proteins with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Expression of the EGFP fusion proteins was localized to the cell membrane, and surface expression of CXCR4 was confirmed by using a ...

A Theoretical Mechanism for the Action of SONG-Modulated Laser Light on Human Very Small Embryonic-Like (hVSEL) Stem Cells in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) [PDF]
It has previously been shown that human very small embryonic-like (hVSEL) stem cell proliferation occurs rapidly when hVSEL stem cells in platelet rich plasma (PRP) are exposed to Strachan Ovokaitys Node Generator (SONG)-modulated laser light.

Pretreatment with licochalcone a enhances therapeutic activity of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in animal models of colitis [PDF]
Objective(s): Colitis has a high prevalence rate, limited treatment options, and needs to be solved urgently. Application of Licochacone A (LA) or rBMMSCs alone in the treatment of colitis has a certain but limited effect.

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 belongs to the large superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, and is directly involved in a number of biological processes including organogenesis, hematopoiesis, and immune response. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of CXCR4 in a variety of diseases including HIV, cancer, and WHIM syndrome.

CXCR4-targeting nanobodies differentially inhibit CXCR4 function and HIV entry
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 contribute to a variety of human diseases, such as cancer. CXCR4 is also a major co-receptor facilitating HIV entry. Accordingly, CXCR4 is considered as an attractive therapeutic target. Drug side effects and poor pharmacokinetic properties have been major hurdles that have prevented the implementation
