Chemokines in Human Colorectal Carcinoma

TL;DR: Therapeutic studies in colorectal carcinomas should focus more on the neutralization of CKs than on their application, as all CK analyzed were expressed at a significantly higher level in malignant tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

The chemokine receptor cxcr5 regulates the regenerative neurogenesis response in the adult zebrafish brain.

TL;DR: It is suggested that cxcr5 is an important cue for ventricular cell proliferation and regenerative neurogenesis in the adult zebrafish telencephalon and is required for differentiation of the RGCs to neurons, highlighting novel roles of cxCr5 in the nervous system of vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuro-Immune Hemostasis: Homeostasis and Diseases in the Central Nervous System

TL;DR: It is proposed that, to better understand and favor the maintenance of adaptive plasticity, it would be useful to construct predictive molecular models, able to enlighten the regulating logic of the complex molecular network, which belongs to different cellular domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines and Cell Trafficking in Sjögren's Syndrome

TL;DR: The identification over recent years of chemokines and their receptors enables us to address the specific processes involved in the migration of inflammatory cells into exocrine glands, the development of their secondary structures and patterns of retention within the glands and potentially the subsequent transformation of B cells into mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of polymorphisms in chemokine ligands and receptors on susceptibility to coronary artery disease

TL;DR: The study confirms the atheroprotective effect of the M280 variant in a completely different population and supports the role of the fractalkine-CX3CR1 pathway in atherosclerosis.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in haematopoiesis and in cerebellar development

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the involvement of a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system and may be important for designing strategies to block HIV entry into cells and for understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis in AIDS dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects of B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiesis in mice lacking the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that the chemokine PBSF/SDF-1 has several essential functions in development, including B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiedis and a cardiac ventricular septal defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of membrane-bound chemokine with a CX3C motif

TL;DR: The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokines that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.
