The migration of macrophages through peripheral tissues is an essential step in the host response to infection, inflammation, and ischemia as well as in tumor progression and tissue repair. The mannose receptor (MR; CD206, previously known as the mac... Read More about Mannose receptor regulation of macrophage cell migration.

Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty (2007)
Journal Article
Ray, B., Chetter, I. C., Lee, H. L. D., Ettelaie, C., & McCollum, P. T. (2007). Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty. British journal of surgery, 94(9), 1092-1095. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs.5759

Background:In vitro studies suggest an association between raised levels of tissue factor and restenosis after coronary percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This prospective, controlled study examined the association between plasma tissue fac... Read More about Plasma tissue factor is a predictor for restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty.

Cancer Research, 67(9), 4042-4051. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-06-3321

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and consists of proliferating spindle cells, which are related to lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) is a secreted proangiogenic and lymphangiogen...

Memories are made of this: synergy of T cell receptor and cytokine signals in CD4+ central memory cell survival (2007)
Journal Article

The ability of the immune system to 'remember' a previous encounter with antigen is the hallmark of the adaptive immune response. The signals required for CD4 + memory T cell survival are not well understood, and a recent paper lends new biochemical...

Thesis
Frentzou, G. A. Investigations into the influence and role of tissue factor in the pathogenesis of myocardial hypertrophy. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215164

Recently it has been demonstrated that tissue factor (TF) plays an important role in the induction and/or progression of cardiac hypertrophy. The aim of this thesis was to examine the relationship between TF and the onset of cardiac hypertrophy. Card...
