Monocytes conditioned media stimulate fibronectin expression and spreading of inflammatory breast cancer cells in three-dimensional culture: A mechanism mediated by IL-8 signaling pathway

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2012
Background Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer characterized by invasion of carcinoma cells into dermal lymphatic vessels where they form tumor emboli over expressing adhesion molecule E-cadherin.

Identification of novel adhesins of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using integrated approach of multiple computational algorithms and experimental analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Pathogenic bacteria interacting with eukaryotic host express adhesins on their surface. These adhesins aid in bacterial attachment to the host cell receptors during colonization.

A selective cyclic integrin antagonist blocks the integrin receptors α_vβ₃ and α_vβ₅ and inhibits retinal pigment epithelium cell attachment, migration and invasion

BMC Ophthalmology, 2005
Background Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a leading cause of blindness after failed retinal reattachment surgery. PVR is characterized by the proliferation, migration and contraction of retinal pigmented epithelial cells (RPE), and these ...

Plasma‐Polymerized Nanoparticles Presenting Fibrillin‐1 Drive Rapid Re‐Endothelialization of Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Commercial vascular grafts are made from ePTFE, a highly hydrophobic, foreign material that fails at a high rate in small‐diameter applications. Plasma polymer nanoparticles (PPN) are a versatile material functionalisation tool, used here to present fibrillin‐1 fragment PF8 on the graft surface.

Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]

, 1981
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

Characterization of Domeless receptors and the role of BdDomeless3 in anti-symbiont-like virus defense in Bactrocera dorsalis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
The Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway play a pivotal role in innate immunity. Among invertebrates, Domeless receptors serve as the key upstream regulators of this pathway.

Metastatic Tumor Cells Exploit Their Adhesion Repertoire to Counteract Shear Forces during Intravascular Arrest

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Cancer metastasis is a process whereby a primary tumor spreads to distant organs. We have demonstrated previously that blood flow controls the intravascular arrest of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) through stable adhesion to endothelial cells ...
