The selectins (L, E, and P) play an important role in the earliest events of the inflammatory response, leading to the “rolling” phenomenon. All selectins react with sialyl Lewis X (SLex) in vitro, possibly suggesting that their ligands have a consensus

Natural Killer Cells Require Selectins for Suppression of Subcutaneous Tumors [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize and destroy cancer cells through a variety of mechanisms. They may also modulate the adaptive immune response to cancer by interacting with dendritic cells and T cells. Although NK cells play an important role in tumor

Model for how α‐syn modulates the positioning of endolysosomes in melanoma cells. (a) α‐syn tethers endolysosomes to the plasma membrane, a last step in anterograde transport. (b) Loss of α‐syn expression causes the loss of the tethering function, which leads to perinuclear vesicle clustering. Reproduced from the open access article.

Compare Serum VCAM‐1, NSE, Procalcitonin in Predict Sepsis Induced Encephalopathy in Septic Patients
Serum VCAM‐1 is associated with septic encephalopathy in the first 7 days of sepsis. NSE and procalcitonin were not associated with septic encephalopathy. ABSTRACT Background Sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common complication of severe sepsis. Increased concentration of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM‐1) is associated with SAE in a

Leguminous Lectins as Tools for Studying the Role of Sugar Residues in Leukocyte Recruitment
The natural physiological ligands for selectins are oligosaccharides found in glycoprotein or glycolipid molecules in cell membranes. In order to study the role of sugar residues in the in vivo lectin anti-inflammatory effect, we tested three leguminous ...

Selectins: An Important Family of Glycan-Binding Cell Adhesion Molecules in Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Unlike most other tumor types that metastasize via the vasculature, ovarian cancer metastasizes predominantly via the transcoelomic route within the peritoneal cavity.

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Abstract 1896: Soluble lung-derived selectins promote breast cancer cell migration
Ninety percent of all breast cancer-related deaths are attributed to metastasis, as current therapies are largely non-curative in the metastatic setting. One of the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis is the lung. Previous work from our lab has

Enterovirus infections in children
Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens causing a wide spectrum of diseases in children worldwide. This review summarizes the epidemiology, virology, viral replication, and virus‐host interactions of EVs. It also highlights current advances in clinical diagnosis, antiviral therapies, and vaccine development, providing insights into future strategies ...
