S100B is a Ca2+‐binding protein mainly concentrated in astrocytes. Its levels in biological
fluids (cerebrospinal fluid, peripheral and cord blood, urine, saliva, amniotic fluid) are …

In the last decade, clear evidence has emerged that the cellular components of skeletal
muscle are important sites for the release of proteins and peptides called “myokines” …

Calcium ions as second messengers control many biological processes, at least in part, via
interaction with a large number of Ca 2+-binding proteins. One class of these proteins …

A multigenic family of Ca2+-binding proteins of the EF-hand type known as S100 comprises
19 members that are differentially expressed in a large number of cell types. Members of this …

The S100 proteins comprise at least 25 members, forming the largest group of EF-hand
signalling proteins in humans. Although the proteins are expressed in many tissues, each …

Background and Purpose Better techniques are needed to monitor infarction volume and
predict neurological outcome after ischemic brain infarction. We evaluated the usefulness of …

Rationale: Lung fibroblasts are key mediators of fibrosis resulting in accumulation of
excessive interstitial collagen and extracellular matrix, but their origins are not well defined …

J. Neurochem.(2012) 120, 644–659. Abstract S100B is a calcium‐binding protein
concentrated in glial cells, although it has also been detected in definite extra‐neural cell …

Background and Purpose—This study was aimed at the comparative analysis of serum
concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and protein S-100B in patients with …

A seamless plasticity exists among cells shifting between epithelial and mesenchymal
phenotypes during early development and again later, in adult tissues, following wound …
