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 …

The S100 protein family consists of 24 members functionally distributed into three main
subgroups: those that only exert intracellular regulatory effects, those with intracellular and …

Phagocytic cells of the immune system must constantly survey for, recognize, and efficiently
clear the billions of cellular corpses that arise as a result of development, stress, infection, or …

The soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE) has been classically
considered a sink for pro-inflammatory RAGE ligands and as such has been associated with …

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), S100/calgranulins, HMGB1-proteins, amyloid-β
peptides, and the family of β-sheet fibrils have been shown to contribute to a number of …

The Ca2+-binding protein of the EF-hand type, S100B, exerts both intracellular and
extracellular functions. Recent studies have provided more detailed information concerning …

Abstract The Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts [RAGE] is an evolutionarily
recent member of the immunoglobulin super-family, encoded in the Class III region of the …

The products of nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins and lipids, the advanced
glycation end products (AGEs), accumulate in a wide variety of environments. AGEs may be …

Damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules have been introduced as
