Virtual Screening of Protein Data Bank via Docking Simulation Identified the Role of Integrins in Growth Factor Signaling, the Allosteric Activation of Integrins, and P-Selectin as a New Integrin Ligand

Cells, 2023
Integrins were originally identified as receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell-surface molecules (e.g., VCAM-1 and ICAM-1). Later, we discovered that many soluble growth factors/cytokines bind to integrins and play a critical role in growth ...

The role of growth factor receptors in viral infections: An opportunity for drug repurposing against emerging viral diseases such as COVID‐19?

FASEB BioAdvances, 2020
Growth factor receptors are known to be involved in the process of viral infection. Many viruses not only use growth factor receptors to physically attach to the cell surface and internalize, but also divert receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in order to

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]

, 2009
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.
