Chemokines are a large family of structurally related chemoattractive cytokines, which have four conserved cysteines forming two disulfide bonds, and act through seven-transmembrane-spanning receptors coupled to heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G-protein-coupled receptors).

Association of SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4 polymorphisms on the susceptibility of diabetic retinopathy in the Taiwanese population [PDF]
Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXC chemokine 4 (CXCR4) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Impact of SDF-1 and AMD3100 on Hair Follicle Dynamics in a Chronic Stress Model [PDF]
Chronic stress is a common cause of hair loss, involving inflammatory responses and changes in cellular signaling pathways. This study explores the mechanism of action of the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling axis in chronic stress-induced hair loss.

Protection of stromal cell-derived factor-1 SDF-1/CXCL12 against proteases yields improved skin wound healing [PDF]
SDF-1/CXCL12 is a unique chemotactic factor with multiple functions on various types of precursor cells, all carrying the cognate receptor CXCR4. Whereas individual biological functions of SDF-1/CXCL12 have been well documented, practical applications in

KLF9 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of renal cell carcinoma through the SDF‐1/CXCR4 axis [PDF]
Altered Krüppel‐like factor 9 (KLF9) expression can regulate the progression of several cancers, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study was conducted to investigate the role of KLF9 in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of RCC cells via

SDF-1 alleviates osteoarthritis by resolving mitochondrial dysfunction through the activation of the Sirt3/PGC-1α signalling pathway [PDF]
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease. Currently, OA treatment is limited to controlling symptoms. Our previous study showed that stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) delayed the progression of OA to a certain extent ...

The effects of SDF-1 combined application with VEGF on femoral distraction osteogenesis in rats [PDF]
Bone regeneration and mineralization can be achieved by means of distraction osteogenesis (DO). In the present study, we investigated the effect of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the new bone ...
