Selectin and selectin ligand binding: a bittersweet attraction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
Inhibition of leukocyte migration into target organs has long been an attractive, though challenging, basis for anti-inflammatory strategies. However, to date, the manipulation of leukocyte rolling along blood vessels has not yielded successful new therapies.

Targeting selectins and selectin ligands in inflammation and cancer [PDF]

open access: yesExpert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2007
Inflammation and cancer metastasis are associated with extravasation of leukocytes or tumor cells from blood into tissue. Such movement is believed to follow a coordinated and sequential molecular cascade initiated, in part, by the three members of the selectin family of carbohydrate-binding proteins: E-selectin (CD62E), L-selectin (CD62L) and P ...

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Role of endothelial cells in graft-versus-host disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
To date, the only curative treatment for high-risk or refractory hematologic malignancies non-responsive to standard chemotherapy is allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation (allo-HCT).

Selectins promote tumor metastasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cancer metastasis is facilitated by cell-cell interactions between cancer cells and endothelial cells in distant tissues. In addition, cancer cell interactions with platelets and leukocytes contribute to cancer cell adhesion, extravasation, and the ...
