1. Thrombospondin 1, an autocrine regulator in T cell adhesion and migration
Abstract : Lymphocytes, the principal cells of the immune system, perform the immune function throughout the body by their unique capacity to circulate in blood stream and lymphatic vessels and migrate in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. The mechanisms regulating lymphocyte adhesion and migration, interactions with cells and components within the extracellular matrix are not fully understood. READ MORE

2. Endothelial-leukocyte interactions
Abstract : This thesis describes early inflammatory responses involving interactions between leukocytes and the endothelial lining of the blood vessel wall. An adhesion molecule, E-selectin, which is upregulated on interleukin-1 activated endothelium, was found to mediate rolling between leukocytes and endothelial cells in vivo. READ MORE

3. Role of adhesion molecules and chemokines in TNF-alpha-induced leukocyte recruitment
Abstract : Migration of leukocytes from the circulating blood into the extravascular tissue is a key component in inflammatory reactions. Leukocyte extravasation (rolling-activation-adhesion-transmigration) is strictly coordinated by adhesion molecules and chemokines expressed on cell surfaces and in tissues. READ MORE

4. Molecular Mechanisms of Action of Histidine-rich Glycoprotein in Angiogenesis Inhibition
Abstract : Angiogenesis, de novo synthesis of blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is required both during embryonic development and in pathophysiological conditions. In particular, tumor growth needs new capillary vessels in order to both deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove toxin and metabolites. READ MORE

5. Regulation of cell morphology and adhesion in B lymphocytes by interleukin-4
Abstract : The different stages in lymphocyte differentiation and activation are associated with profound changes in cell morphology. Under normal development, lymphocytes are at different times in direct contact with stromal cells and extracellular matrix, they transverse endothelium, are transported via blood and lymphatic vessels, home to specific lymphoid organs and may undergo antigen-driven activation events.
