Peptide binding to cleaved CD31 dampens ischemia/reperfusion-induced intestinal injury
Background CD31 is a key transmembrane neutrophil immunoregulatory receptor. Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion-induced neutrophil activation leads to a massive cleavage and shedding of the most extracellular domains of CD31 into plasma, enhancing the ...
