Lewis X antigen mediates adhesion of human breast carcinoma cells to activated endothelium. Possible involvement of the endothelial scavenger receptor C-Type lectin [PDF]
, 2007 Lewis x (Lex, CD15), also known as SSEA-1 (stage specific embryonic antigen-1), is a trisaccharide with the structure Galβ(1–4)Fucα(1–3)GlcNAc, which is expressed on glycoconjugates in human polymorphonuclear granulocytes and various tumors such as colon

Expression of neural cell adhesion molecule in dysmyelinating mutants
Brain Research, 1990 The possible role of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in myelination was studied in the dysmyelinating mouse mutants jimpy and shiverer, by characterizing the expression of the different molecular forms of brain NCAM as a function of age. In jimpy, the expression of NCAM-120 (120,000-Da NCAM) was low and in shiverer both NCAM-120 and NCAM-180 (180 ...

LIN28B Promotes Cancer Cell Dissemination and Angiogenesis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Children diagnosed with high‐risk neuroblastoma have a 5‐year event‐free survival rate of less than 50% and poor outcomes after recurrence. Deregulation of the LIN28B oncogene can be addressed in these patients. Upregulation of LIN28B is shown to support the metastatic cascade.

Activity of nAChRs containing α9 subunits modulates synapse stabilization via bidirectional signaling programs [PDF]
, 2009 Although the synaptogenic program for cholinergic synapses of the neuromuscular junction is well known, little is known of the identity or dynamic expression patterns of proteins involved in non-neuromuscular nicotinic synapse development.

Models for pattern formation in somitogenesis: a marriage of cellular and molecular biology [PDF]
, 2002 Somitogenesis, the process by which a bilaterally symmetric pattern of cell aggregations is laid down in a cranio-caudal sequence in early vertebrate development, provides an excellent model study for the coupling of interactions at the molecular and ...

Intersection Between Local Anesthetics and Cancer Biology: What Now? Where Are We Going?
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Local anesthetics (LAs), widely used in anesthesia, may also play a role in cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor growth, reducing metastasis, and enhancing immune responses. They modulate key pathways like AKT/mTOR and RAS/ERK while affecting angiogenesis and tumor innervation and the immune response.
