TL;DR: The distribution of tissue factor antigen as demonstrated by immunostaining supports the hypothesis that maintenance of a physical barrier between tissue factor activity and blood is key to the normal regulation of hemostasis.

TL;DR: L-selectin on neutrophils, monocytes, and/or NK cells has a role in facilitating metastasis, acting beyond the early time points wherein P- selectin mediates interactions of platelet with tumor cells.

TL;DR: The data indicate that although the number of normal-appearing osteoclasts is significantly increased in patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy, as compared with those receiving placebo, the decrease in biochemical markers and increase in bone density suggest that even normal- Apps may resorb bone poorly, andconsiderable evidence indicates that osteoclast are formed by fusion of mononuclear precursors.

TL;DR: The GD2 serum level of one neuroblastoma patient, when followed serially, was found to correlate with progression of disease, suggesting the potential usefulness of this assay for the diagnosis and monitoring of Neuroblastoma.

TL;DR: Internal ligands of the Ashwell receptor are identified as glycoproteins and regulatory components in blood coagulation and thrombosis that include von Willebrand factor (vWF) and platelets and improves the probability of host survival.
