  • Integrins are not constitutively active but rather exist in multiple activation states wherein ligand binding stability is related to the activation status of the receptor. (thno.org)
  • The biodirectional nature of integrin mediated signaling allows both extra- and intracellular cues to regulate activation [ 4 ] (Fig. 1 ). (thno.org)

  • The presence of manganese partially restored the binding of these T cells to VCAM-1 in vitro, suggesting that FTY interferes with integrin activation. (neurology.org)
  • Cytokine screening revealed overall decreased secretion levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), CD147 (basigin) and CD31 (PECAM-1) as well as elevated levels of interleukin 5 (IL-5) and interferon gamma (IFNγ) in response to checkpoint inhibitor treatment. (uni-luebeck.de)
