A successful immune response depends on the capacity of immune cells to travel from one location in the body to another–these cells are rapid migrators, travelling at speeds of μm/minute. Their ability to penetrate into tissues and to make contacts with other cells depends chiefly on the β2 integrin known as LFA-1.

Prokaryotic Collagen-Like Proteins as Novel Biomaterials
Collagens are the major structural component in animal extracellular matrices and are critical signaling molecules in various cell-matrix interactions. Its unique triple helical structure is enabled by tripeptide Gly-X-Y repeats.

Molecular Tuning of Filamin A Activities in the Context of Adhesion and Migration
The dynamic organization of actin cytoskeleton meshworks relies on multiple actin-binding proteins endowed with distinct actin-remodeling activities. Filamin A is a large multi-domain scaffolding protein that cross-links actin filaments with orthogonal ...

Integrins and the Myocardium [PDF]
Abstract —Extracellular matrix provides a structural, chemical, and mechanical substrate that is essential in cardiac development, growth, and responses to pathophysiological signals. Transmembrane receptors termed integrins provide a dynamic interaction of environmental cues and intracellular events.

Structural basis of integrin regulation and signaling.
Integrins are cell adhesion molecules that mediate cell-cell, cell-extracellular matrix, and cell-pathogen interactions. They play critical roles for the immune system in leukocyte trafficking and migration, immunological synapse formation, costimulation,

STUDY OF THE IMMUNOLOGICAL MARKERS CD49d AND CD38 IN EARLY-STAGE B-CLL PATIENTS [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of B- lymphocytes into the blood stream, primary and secondary lymphoid organs as a consequence of defect in the apoptosis. Most frequently it affects people aged 67- 72. The greater

Integrins and Integrin-Associated Proteins in the Cardiac Myocyte [PDF]
Integrins are heterodimeric, transmembrane receptors that are expressed in all cells, including those in the heart. They participate in multiple critical cellular processes including adhesion, extracellular matrix organization, signaling, survival, and proliferation. Particularly relevant for a contracting muscle cell, integrins are mechanotransducers,
