The chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines) are a large family of small, secreted proteins that
signal through cell surface G protein‐coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors. They are …

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 …

Staphylococcus aureus is a prominent human pathogen capable of infecting a variety of host
species and tissue sites. This versatility stems from the pathogen's ability to secrete diverse …

A set of chemokine receptors are structurally unable to elicit migration or conventional
signalling responses after ligand engagement. These'silent'(non-signalling) chemokine …

Plasmodium vivax is the main cause of malarial disease in Asia and South America.
Plasmodium vivax infection was thought to be absent in African populations who are Duffy …

Glycosaminoglycans are polysaccharides that occur both at the cell surface and within
extracellular matrices. Through their ability to bind to a large array of proteins, almost 500 of …

Molecular processes that govern pathogenic features of erythrocyte invasion and

Plasmodium vivax (Pv) is a major cause of human malaria and is increasing in public health
importance compared with falciparum malaria. Pv is unique among human malarias in that …

The erythrocyte silent Duffy blood group phenotype in Africans is thought to confer
