The interactions of chemokines with their G protein-coupled receptors promote the migration
of leukocytes during normal immune function and as a key aspect of the inflammatory …

Chemokines and their receptors play fundamental roles in many physiological and
pathological processes such as leukocyte trafficking, inflammation, cancer and HIV-1 …

The pleiotropic chemokine CXCL12 is involved in diverse physiological and
pathophysiological processes, including embryogenesis, hematopoiesis, leukocyte …

Leukocyte functions are linked to their migratory responses, which, in turn, are largely
determined by the expression profile of classical chemokine receptors. Upon binding their …

Chemokines are important proteins involved in the regulation of directed leukocyte migration
during inflammation and the homeostatic homing of immune cells. In addition, they play a …

Protein glycosylation controls cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) communication in
immune, vascular, and inflammatory processes, underlining the critical role of this process in …

To fulfill their potential, leukocytes must be able to exit the vasculature and reach the site of
inflammation within the tissue. This process of leukocyte extravasation is a tightly regulated …

Fy blood group antigens are carried by the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC), a
red cells receptor for Plasmodium vivax broadly implicated in human health and diseases …

Rare polyagglutinable NOR erythrocytes contain three unique globoside (Gb4Cer)
derivatives, NOR1, NOR int, and NOR2, in which Gal (α1–4), GalNAc (β1–3) Gal (α1–4), and …

Plasmodium vivax malaria affects 14 million people each year. Its invasion requires
interactions between the parasitic Duffy-binding protein (Pv DBP) and the N-terminal …
