Resident memory T (Trm) cells stably occupy tissues and cannot be sampled in superficial
venous blood. Trm cells are heterogeneous but collectively constitute the most abundant …

The adhesive interactions of cells with other cells and with the extracellular matrix are crucial
to all developmental processes, but have a central role in the functions of the immune …

Fucoidan from Fucus vesiculosus inhibits human sperm-zona pellucida binding and blocks
the zona pellucida-induced acrosome reaction in human sperm. Fucoidan also potently …

The selectins initiate many critical interactions among blood cells. The volume of information
and diversity of opinions on the nature of the biologically relevant ligands for selectins is …

High endothelial venules (HEVs? are specialized postcapillary venules found in lymphoid
tissues that support high levels of lymphocyte extravasation from the blood. Here, Jean …

Recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation is mediated in part by endothelial
leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), which is expressed on activated endothelial cells …

The study of tumor biology has, in recent years, focused on the abnormal regulation of
growth control an neoplastic cells and on the genes that control tumor cell proliferation …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the various nonlymphoid and
lymphoid cell types localized in the marginal zone and the way they are arranged in the …

The extravasation of leukocytes from the blood into tissues occurs as a multistep process: an
initial transient interaction (" rolling"), generally thought to be mediated by the selectin family …

Modification of cell surface molecules with sialic acid is crucial for their function in many
biological processes, including cell adhesion and signal transduction. Uridine diphosphate …
