Blood neutrophils contribute to joint injury in human and experimental models of arthritis.
Neutrophil migration out of the blood in joint inflammation involves both the CD18 (beta2) …

Stem cells possess the ability to home in and travel to damaged tissue when injected
intravenously. For the cells to exert their therapeutic effect, they must cross the blood vessel …

The β 2 integrin cell adhesion molecules (CAM) mediate polymorphonuclear leukocyte
(PMNL) emigration in most inflamed tissues, but, in the lung, other yet to be identified CAMs …

Background Although intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is known to be expressed
in balloon-injured arteries, it remains unknown whether ICAM-1 plays a role in the …

Abstract Background/Aims: Previous studies indicate that a water extract of Helicobacter
pylori (HPE) can promote neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions in vivo and in vitro. The …

FTY720, a novel immunosuppressant, sequesters circulating mature lymphocytes,
especially T cells, within lymph nodes and Peyer's patches by accelerating lymphocyte …

Increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1) in the colon of
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been reported. We evaluated the effects of …

After intrapulmonary deposition of IgG or IgA immune complexes, injury has been recently
shown to be CD18-dependent in both cases and E-selection-dependent only in the former …

Rationale: Neutrophils accumulate in pulmonary capillaries during acute inflammation. Initial
events in injury recognition and sequestration do not occur through selectin-mediated …

We investigated the early response of microglia with complement and other proteins in well
controlled rat central nervous system lesions. A selective neuronal degeneration in the …
