Abstract:
P-selectin is a leukocyte adhesion molecule present on the surfaces of activated platelets and endothelial cells. Its expression has been documented at sites of active inflammation including that resulting from cardiovascular disease. Mice deficient in P-selectin, generated by gene targeting, have provided tools for understanding the role of P-selectin in mediating the complex processes that lead to leukocyte extravasation in inflammatory processes. This review discusses the generation and characterization of P-selectin-deficient mice and our current understanding of P-selectin's role in mediating leukocyte-endothelial and leukocyte-platelet interactions.

Activation of Integrins
In "outside-in signaling," external factors in the extracellular space bind to exposed ligand binding sites on integrins. This causes the inactive protein to undergo a conformational change to become active. Integrins are often clustered on the cell membrane. Repetitive and regularly spaced ligand binding events provide an effective stimulus.
Integrins
Some ECM proteins assemble into a basement membrane to which the remaining components adhere. Proteoglycans typically form the bulk of the ECM while fibrous proteins, like collagen,...
Notch Signaling Pathway
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not until 1985...
