Control of Chemokine-Guided Cell Migration by Ligand Sequestration

TLDR
It is demonstrated that the activity of a second SDF-1/CXCL12 receptor, CXCR7, is crucial for proper migration of PGCs toward their targets and functions primarily in the somatic environment rather than within the migrating cells.

Oogenesis in teleosts: How fish eggs are formed

TL;DR: Recent advances on teleost fish oocyte differentiation, maturation and ovulation are highlighted, including those involved in the degeneration and reabsorption of ovarian follicles (atresia).

The Chemokine Superfamily Revisited

TL;DR: The full scope of the human and mouse chemokine superfamilies and their relationships are updated and several important roles that homeostatic chemokines play in the immune system are summarized.

CXCL12 / CXCR4 / CXCR7 chemokine axis and cancer progression.

TL;DR: The current concepts regarding the role of CXCL12 / CXCR4 / CxCR7 axis activation, which regulates the pattern of tumor growth and metastatic spread to organs expressing high levels of CxCL12 to develop secondary tumors are reviewed.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.

Stromal Fibroblasts Present in Invasive Human Breast Carcinomas Promote Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis through Elevated SDF-1/CXCL12 Secretion

TL;DR: Using a coimplantation tumor xenograft model, it is demonstrated that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts extracted from human breast carcinomas promote the growth of admixed breast carcinoma cells significantly more than do normal mammaries derived from the same patients.

Effective targeted gene ‘knockdown’ in zebrafish

TL;DR: It is shown here that antisense, morpholino-modified oligonucleotides (morpholinos) are effective and specific translational inhibitors in zebrafish, and conserved vertebrate processes and diseases are now amenable to a systematic, in vivo, reverse-genetic paradigm using zebra fish embryos.

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.

Resolution of inflammation: the beginning programs the end.

TL;DR: Emerging evidence now suggests that an active, coordinated program of resolution initiates in the first few hours after an inflammatory response begins, and the mechanism required for inflammation resolution may underpin the development of drugs that can resolve inflammatory processes in directed and controlled ways.
