To probe the role of human plasma fibronectin in modulating human blood-derived macrophage adhesion and fusion to form multinucleated foreign-body giant cells (FBGC), a series of biomimetic oligopeptides based on the functional structure of fibronectin was designed and synthesized. Peptides incorpor

## Abstract Fibronectin plays an important role in gastric cancer progression. However, little is known about the microenvironmental factors modulating integrin‐dependent interactions between gastric cancer cells and fibronectin. We therefore studied the regulation by fibroblasts of the integrin‐de
## Abstract The relevance of immune‐endocrine interactions to the regulation of testicular steroidogenesis in teleosts is virtually unexplored. The objectives of the present study were: 1) to investigate the effects of murine cytokines, tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNFα) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), and
