Platelets adhering to the vascular wall mediate postischemic leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in retinal microcirculation.
PURPOSE Recent evidence suggests that platelets play a major role in ischemia-reperfusion injury, not only through thrombus formation but also through participation in inflammatory reactions with leukocytes. This study was designed to investigate the contribution of platelets in leukocyte recruitment to inflamed regions in vivo. METHODS Thrombocytopenia was produced in male Long-Evans rats by...
متن کاملCell-Cell Interactions in the Vessel Wall: The Processes
coupling between cells of the vascular wall might be essential. First, smooth muscle and endothelial cells are small compared with the size of the vessels that regulate blood flow and pressure. Regulation is accomplished by minute, precise changes in luminal diameter, during which the activities of many cells must be coordinated over distances of several millimeters and to parallel vessels in t...
متن کاملPlatelet and von Willebrand factor interactions at the vessel wall.
The process of platelet thrombus formation contributes to the haemostatic response that prevents excessive blood loss after tissue injury, but may become a life-threatening disease mechanism by causing the acute thrombotic occlusion of atherosclerotic arteries. The participation of platelets in the formation of thrombi is centered on their adhesive properties and the ability to respond to stimu...
متن کاملGenetic and molecular basis of grass cell-wall degradability. I. Lignin-cell wall matrix interactions.
Lignification limits grass cell-wall digestion by herbivores. Lignification is spatially and temporally regulated, and lignin characteristics differ between cell walls, plant tissues, and plant parts. Grass lignins are anchored within walls by ferulate and diferulate cross-links, p-coumarate cyclodimers, and possibly benzyl ester and ether cross-links. Cell-wall degradability is regulated by li...
متن کاملMonitoring Surface Chemical Changes in the Bacterial Cell Wall
Gram-negative bacteria can alter the composition of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer of the outer membrane as a response to different growth conditions and external stimuli. These alterations can, for example, promote attachment to surfaces and biofilm formation. The changes occur in the outermost layer of the cell and may consequently influence interactions between bacterial cells and surrou...
