Selectins are a family of cell adhesion molecules that participate in the early phases of leukocyte–endothelium interactions. They are required for the trafficking of innate immune system cells, T ...

Immune cells called natural killer cells can target ... associated with the presence of NK cells that expressed a specific adhesion molecule called CD57, which is a carbohydrate on the cell ...

Cancer immune-cell therapies are increasing in prominence ... in the presence of cytokine cocktails that activate Notch signalling and cell adhesion. The iPS-Ts modified in this system exhibited ...

We are interested in leukocyte beta2-integrins, important cell surface receptors in leukocytes which regulate both adhesion and signalling in immune cells. Support scientific breakthroughs – become a ...

A new study found that part of the Epstein-Barr virus mimics a protein made in the brain and spinal cord, leading the immune ...

Now with patient tumors, the team has taken this insight a step further, demonstrating that adhesion strength of tumor cells is variable and the next step will be to determine if adhesion can help ...

Some immune system cells specialized in recognizing pathogenic ... Type C lectins help bind and process antigens from ...

One key player in this process is integrin, a protein found on the surface of cells that facilitates adhesion, helping them stick to other surfaces. In this scenario, integrin is what the white ...
