Selectins form a family of Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate binding proteins that mediate the initial step of leukocyte recruitment in the inflammatory process. Blocking of selectins is therefore considered a promising therapeutic approach to treat acute and chronic inflammatory diseases which are caused by excessive extravasation of leukocytes.

Total and extracellular vesicle–bound plasma P-selectin as diagnostic biomarkers for acute deep vein thrombosis [PDF]
Background: Plasma P-selectin has shown moderate diagnostic potential for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In plasma, P-selectin is found in soluble form and bound to extracellular vesicles (EVs).

P selectin promotes SARS-CoV-2 interactions with platelets and the endothelium [PDF]
The physiology of SARS-CoV-2 virus/host interactions is not well understood. To better understand host/virus interactions, we performed a CRISPR activation screen to identify host genes that confer resistance to authentic SARS-CoV-2.

Soluble P-selectin levels, P-selectin polymorphisms and cardiovascular disease [PDF]
P-selectin is a member of the selectin family of cell adhesion molecules which are important in the transient attachment of leukocytes to endothelial cells and platelets. A number of polymorphisms in the gene encoding P-selectin have been identified.

P-Selectin and Platelet Clearance [PDF]
P-selectin is an adhesion receptor for leukocytes expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells. To assess a possible role of P-selectin in platelet clearance, we adapted an in vivo biotinylation technique in mice. Wild-type and P-selectin–deficient mice were infused with N-hydroxysuccinimido biotin.

P-Selectin Inhibition and the Structure–Activity Relationship of Sea Cucumber-Derived Fucosylated Glycosaminoglycan Oligosaccharides [PDF]
The selectin family constitutes a well-known class of immune-regulatory molecules, among which P-selectin has emerged as a therapeutic target for inflammatory thrombotic diseases due to its capacity to mediate the adhesion between multiple immune cell ...

Targeted Delivery to Dying Cells Through P-Selectin–PSGL-1 Axis: A Promising Strategy for Enhanced Drug Efficacy in Liver Injury Models [PDF]
To minimize off-target adverse effects and improve drug efficacy, various tissue-specific drug delivery systems have been developed. However, even in diseased organs, both normal and stressed, dying cells coexist, and a targeted delivery system ...
