The microvascular endothelial cell monolayer localized at the critical interface between the
blood and vessel wall has the vital functions of regulating tissue fluid balance and supplying …

Abstract Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of mature B lymphocytes
which are highly dependent on interactions with the tissue microenvironment for their …

Intercellular junctions mediate adhesion and communication between adjoining endothelial
and epithelial cells. In the endothelium, junctional complexes comprise tight junctions …

The integration and control of systemic immune responses depends on the regulated
trafficking of lymphocytes. This lymphocyte “homing” process disperses the immunologic …

Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1; CD31) is crucial to the process of
leukocyte transmigration through intercellular junctions of vascular endothelial cells. A …

The expression of PECAM, ICAM‐1, VCAM‐1, and E‐selectin was studied in 64 samples of
human coronary arteries taken from 15 explanted hearts obtained within 5 min of …

The circulatory and migratory properties of white blood cells have evolved to allow efficient
surveillance of tissues for infectious pathogens and rapid accu ญ mulation at sites of injury …

The adhesive interactions of endothelial cells with each other and the adhesion receptors
that mediate these interactions are probably of fundamental importance to the process of …

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a 130-kD member of the
immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily that is expressed on the surface of circulating platelets …

The aim of this study was to study interactions between stromal bone marrow
microenvironment and leukemic cells. We tested the hypothesis that stromal cells prevent …
