Regulation of histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) function via plasmin-mediated proteolytic cleavage.

21 Oct 2009 The plasminogen/plasmin system is involved in a variety of normal physiological and pathological processes, including tissue remodelling, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis. Plasminogen activators and receptors for plasminogen/plasminogen activators ... Read more...

The molecular basis and functional implications of chemokine interactions with heparan sulphate.

28 Sep 2009 The ability of cells to migrate in response to chemokine mediated signals, a process known as chemotaxis, is fundamental in the context of inflammation, as in many other physiological processes. Chemokines binding to heparan sulphate ensures their ... Read more...

Selective filtering of particles by the extracellular matrix: an electrostatic bandpass.

14 Sep 2009 The transport of microscopic particles such as growth factors, proteins, or drugs through the extracellular matrix (ECM) is based on diffusion, a ubiquitous mechanism in nature. The ECM shapes the local distribution of the transported macromolecules ... Read more...
