Chemokines are a family of small, highly conserved cytokines that mediate various
biological processes, including chemotaxis, hematopoiesis, and angiogenesis, and that …

Chemokines have two types of interactions that function cooperatively to control cell
migration. Chemokine receptors on migrating cells integrate signals initiated upon …

Since their discovery, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM)-containing
receptors have been shown to inhibit signaling from immunoreceptor tyrosine-based …

Chemokines control the migration of cells in normal physiological processes and in the
context of disease such as inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer. Two major interactions …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long and unbranched polysaccharides that are abundant
in the extracellular matrix and basement membrane of multicellular organisms. These linear …

Peripheral arterial disease results from the chronic obstruction of arteries leading to critical
hindlimb ischemia. The aim was to develop a new therapeutic strategy of revascularization …

Chemokines are essential for antimicrobial host defenses and tissue repair. Herpesviruses
and poxviruses also encode chemokines, copied from their hosts and repurposed for …

This chapter provides an overview of the chemokine superfamily with a particular focus on
their role in the immune system. Concerning the chemokine receptor nomenclature, it was …

Abstract Human hookworm Necator Americanus causes iron deficiency anemia, as the
parasite ingests blood from the gastrointestinal tract of its human host. The virulence factors …

The Herpesviridae family is formed by enveloped viruses containing double stranded DNA
