Mononuclear cell preparations from peripheral blood after mobilization with hematopoietic growth factors have been shown t o induce accelerated neutrophil and platelet recovery as compared with that induced by autologous bone marrow transplantation after myeloablative chemotherapy. Because these mononuclear cell products contain many immunocompetent cells other than hematopoietic progenitors,...

Introduction: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease in which abnormal individual immune reactivity plays an important role. Eselectin and P-selectin are adhesion molecules expressed on vascular endothelial cells in several inflammatory skin diseases, including psoriasis. The aim of the present study was to describe selected immunological changes, concerning adhesion molecules status (sEsele...

previous studies have demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) can trigger angiogenesis as well as inflammation through binding to its membranous receptor-1 on endothelial and inflammatory cells. we aimed to correlate the circulatory number of cells expressing such receptor as well as the serum level of vegf and the soluble form of its receptor-1 (svegfr1) to the severity of ...
