Periodontal diseases are predisposing factors to the development of many systemic
disorders, which is often initiated via leukocyte infiltration and vascular inflammation. These …

Selectin enzymes are glycoproteins and are an important adhesion molecule in the
mammalian immune system, especially in the inflammatory response and the healing …

Tissue inflammation is a finely regulated process that controls wound healing and allows the
clearance of damaged cells, pathogens and irritants. However, excessive or uncontrolled …

Selectins are multifunctional adhesion molecules that mediate the initial interactions
between circulating leukocytes and cells of the endothelium. First identified over a decade …

Selectins are multi-functional adhesion molecules that mediate the initial interactions
between circulating leukocytes and the endothelium. First identified over a decade ago …

Background: The primary etiologic factor of periodontitis is the subgingival infection with a
group of Gram negative pathogens. Transient bacteremia in periodontitis patients underlie …

INTRODUCTION: Soluble P-selectin plays a pivotal role in inflammation and the
development of thrombotic and cardiovascular disease. Accordingly, elevated levels of …

Selectins mediate tethering and rolling of leukocytes to the vascular endothelium, the first
adhesive step in the recruitment of immune cells to inflamed tissues. Thus, selectins play a …

Soluble endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule‐1 (sE‐selectin) levels in peripheral blood
(PB) and gingival capillary blood (GCB) of both healthy donors (HD) and patients with adult …

Selectins are a family of adhesion receptors that bind to highly glycosylated molecules
expressed on the surface of leukocytes and endothelial cells. The interactions between …
