Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the dorsal root ganglion in the development of neuropathic pain.

Elliot S. Krames
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: The dorsal root ganglion is as involved in the process of generating NP as is the nociceptor and the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of chemokines in allergic contact dermatitis.

TL;DR: Targeting chemokines and chemokine receptors may offer new opportunities for therapeutic interventions in ACD and other chronic inflammatory skin diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of leukocyte migration across the blood–retina barrier

TL;DR: The relative roles of selectins and integrins in leukocyte interactions with the vascular endothelium and the pivotal role of chemokines in selective recruitment of leukocytes subsets, triggering adhesion, diapedesis and migration of inflammatory cells into the retinal tissue are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, a clue to neutrophil-mediated inflammatory processes orchestrated by T cells.

TL;DR: Data is presented on how T cells may directly orchestrate a neutrophilic inflammation by specific release of the neutrophil-attracting chemokine CXCL8 (formerly known as interleukin-8) and how this pathomechanism may reveal new targets for pharmacotherapeutic interventions in such diseases.
Journal Article

The dynamics of the T-cell antitumor response: chemokine-secreting dendritic cells can prime tumor-reactive T cells extranodally.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that effective T-cell priming can occur extranodally and result in measurable antitumor effects in vivo and in mice which lacked peripheral lymph nodes.

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.
