Sentence examples for mediating leukocyte migration from inspiring English sources

Chemokines are a class of cytokines with chemotactic properties; they have a role in mediating leukocyte migration and activation.

This is important for interpreting the functions of these two proteins in vivo: TSP may initiate capture of IRBCs in the circulation as the bond is strong but short-lived at fast loading rates which are usually experienced when a circulating cell first comes into contact with the endothelium, as compared to the similar function of selectin in mediating leukocyte migration [27].

Chemokines are small soluble molecules which mediate leukocyte migration and may be involved in the pathophysiology of preterm labor.

In the last decade, new insights have been gained into signaling pathways triggering post-adhesion events such as leukocyte strengthening and intraluminal crawling as well as into the mechanisms mediating leukocyte transendothelial migration (rev. in 2, 3, 4, 5).

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that mediate leukocyte migration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and through ECM [2] [6].

CX3CR1/CX3CL1 mediates leukocyte migration and adhesion and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several inflammatory diseases.

The observation of P/L-Selectins as part of the plasma biomarker panel suggests that P/L-Selectin-mediated leukocyte migration might be important in SJIA pathogenesis, possibly by mediating the recruitment and/or trafficking of specific leukocyte subtypes into inflammatory foci.

It is well established that pro-inflammatory cytokines are key molecules in mediating leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration [2].

Adhesion molecules play a critical role in mediating leukocyte immobilization as a result of anchoring [25].

VAP-1 is an inflammation inducible endothelial cell molecule mediating leukocyte interactions with the lining of blood vessels [17],[17].

If the enhanced survival from the co-injection was truly mediated by leukocyte migration as a result of diffusible chemoattractants from S180, CFAF should contain all the diffusible chemoattractants and should be able to recapitulate the enhanced survival observed with live S180 cells to some extent.
