ICAMs in Immunity, Intercellular Adhesion and Communication

Cells
Interactions among leukocytes and leukocytes with immune-associated auxiliary cells represent an essential feature of the immune response that requires the involvement of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).

Effects of the Fluid Replacement Method During Online Hemodiafiltration on the Solute Removal Performance and Biocompatibility Using the Asymmetric Cellulose Triacetate Membrane

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pre‐dilution online hemodiafiltration (Pre‐HDF) is predominantly used in Japan, whereas post‐dilution online HDF (Post‐HDF) is more common in Europe. An asymmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA) membrane may improve biocompatibility.

Unmutated RRAS2 emerges as a key oncogene in post-partum-associated triple negative breast cancer

Molecular Cancer
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, with triple negative BC (TNBC) accounting for 20% of cases. While early detection and targeted therapies have improved overall life expectancy, TNBC remains resistant to current treatments.

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Immune functions of the esophagus

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
The esophagus has long been regarded as a simple conduit for food transport. A new paradigm now recognizes it as an immune organ actively involved in environmental sensing, antigen tolerance, and neuroimmune signaling to maintain mucosal homeostasis. The stratified squamous epithelium provides a vital physical barrier, supported by transmembrane mucins

The R-RAS2 GTPase is a signaling hub in triple-negative breast cancer cell metabolism and metastatic behavior

Journal of Hematology & Oncology
Background Recent research from our group has shown that the overexpression of the wild-type RAS-family GTPase RRAS2 drives the onset of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in mice following one or more pregnancies.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
