Tumor cell migration may favor local mass expansion and metastasis dissemination. Several tumors were found to express the receptor for platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent mediator of leukocyte chemotaxis and endothelial cell migration. However, its functional role on tumor cells is largely u

## Abstract Mammalian sperm gain the ability to fertilize an egg successfully by the capacitation process. An unregulated capacitation process causes sperm to undergo a spontaneous acrosome reaction (AR) and resulting in loss of their fertilization activity. Thus, functional sperm activation is tig
The effect of low concentrations of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), platelet-activating factor (PAF) and other surfactants (Triton X-100, C12E8, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate) on membrane permeability of native sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and sarcoplasmic reticulu
