Soluble adhesion protein intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule (E-selectin) were measured in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in remission and in exacerbation, as well as patients with chronic progressive MS, stable MS, and in patients with other neurological and inflammatory diseases (ONDs). Serum ICAM-1 and E-selectin were significantly elevated in patients with MS over those with ONDs and controls. CSF VCAM-1 and E-selectin were found to be elevated over control and disease control samples. No increase in CSF ICAM-1 was observed. Results were analyzed longitudinally and by MS category. In paired CSF and serum samples from patients in exacerbation, elevated VCAM-1 correlated with increased serum VCAM-1 in 5 of 7 patients. Elevated CSF E-selectin did not correlate with elevations in serum E-selectin.

When juxtaposed with 2D cell culture models, multicellular tumor spheroids demonstrate a capacity to faithfully replicate certain features inherent to solid tumors. These include spatial architecture, physiological responses, the release of soluble mediators, patterns of gene expression, and mechanisms of drug resistance. The morphological and behavioural similarities between 3D-cultured cells and cells within tumor masses highlight the potential of these models in studying cancer biology and drug responses.

The family of heterodimeric CD11/CD18 integrins facilitate leukocyte adhesion and migration in a wide range of normal physiologic responses, as well as in the pathology of inflammatory diseases. Soluble CD18 (sCD18) is found mainly in complexes with hydrodynamic radii of 5 and 7.2 nm, suggesting a compositional difference.

Background: Vascular calcification is common and progressive in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the risk factors associated with the progression of vascular calcification in patients receiving maintenance dialysis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we aimed to evaluate vascular calcification and identify the factors associated with its progression in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.

Despite significant advances in imaging modalities for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), there remains a need for novel diagnostic approaches with high predictive values and fewer limitations. Circulating biomarkers, including cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), cell adhesion molecules such as soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), peptides secreted by endothelial cells such as endothelin-1 (ET-1), and enzymes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling such as a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-1 (ADAMTS-1) offer a promising alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the plasma levels of selected biomarkers and the presence and severity of CAD.

The protease, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13 (ADAMTS13), known to cleave only the von Willebrand factor (VWF), has powerful regulatory effects on microvascular platelet adhesion, thrombosis, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. We study the protection against diabetes-induced retinal injury in experimental rats by supplementation with recombinant ADAMTS13. We compare human epiretinal membranes and vitreous samples from nondiabetic subjects and patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and extend in vitro analyses with the use of various immunodetection and spectrofluorimetric methods on rat retina and human retinal glial and endothelial cell cultures.
