Migrating cells form dynamic and highly regulated adhesive interactions with their environment. In particular, integrin-mediated adhesions to the extracellular matrix (ECM) play a central role in cell migration. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding the adhesive mechanisms that reg

Adenosine exerts a variety of partly divergent effects during postischemic reperfusion. Since the intravascular retention of neutrophils (PMN) is a crucial step in the development of organ reperfusion injury, we tested whether stimulation of human endothelial adenosine A 1 -receptors enhances adhesi
Gliomas, characterized by their progressively invasive phenotype, express integrin β£3β€1 as a major receptor for the extracellular matrix both in vivo and in vitro. Since the integrin β£3β€1 has been shown to be a specific receptor for laminin-5 (β£3β€3β₯2), we examined the effects of purified human lamin
An unusual combination of host defense abnormalities was demonstrated in an adult male with recurrent pulmonary infections due to a variety of microorganisms. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil chemotaxis was defective. Other neutrophil and T-lymphocyte function tests were normal. The patient's serum also
