Skap2 is required for β2 integrin-mediated neutrophil recruitment and functions. [PDF]

, 2017
Integrin activation is required for neutrophil functions. Impaired integrin activation on neutrophils is the hallmark of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome in humans, characterized by impaired leukocyte recruitment and recurrent infections. The

Association between fibrinogen and cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Objectives: Fibrinogen has been reported as a potential risk factor for vascular dementia (VaD). However, the association between fibrinogen and cognition in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) has not been studied adequately.

Fibrinogen induces inflammatory responses via the immune activating receptor LILRA2

Frontiers in Immunology
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family, a group of primate-specific immunoreceptors, is widely expressed on most immune cells and regulates immune responses through interactions with various ligands. The inhibitory type, LILRB, has been

A Novel Inflammation-Based Prognostic Score: The Fibrinogen/Albumin Ratio Predicts Prognoses of Patients after Curative Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Journal of Immunology Research, 2018
Background. Inflammation is an important hallmark of cancer. Fibrinogen and albumin are both vital factors in systemic inflammation. This study investigated the prognostic value of the fibrinogen/albumin ratio in HCC patients who underwent curative ...

C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2003
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a

Fibrinogen-related proteins in ixodid ticks

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Background Fibrinogen-related proteins with lectin activity are believed to be part of the tick innate immune system. Several fibrinogen-related proteins have been described and characterised mainly on the basis of their cDNA sequences while direct ...
