Crossing the Vascular Wall: Common and Unique Mechanisms Exploited by Different Leukocyte Subsets during Extravasation by Michael Schnoor, Pilar Alcaide, Mathieu-Benoit Voisin, Jaap D. van Buul

“…The endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are known as the central mediators of leukocyte adhesion to and transmigration across the endothelium. Engagement of these molecules by their leukocyte integrin receptors initiates the activation of several signaling pathways within both leukocytes and endothelium. …”

Transcriptome atlases of rat brain regions and their adaptation to diabetes resolution following gastrectomy in the Goto-Kakizaki rat by François Brial, Aurélie Le Lay, Claude Rouch, Edouard Henrion, Mathieu Bourgey, Guillaume Bourque, Mark Lathrop, Christophe Magnan, Dominique Gauguier

“…Differentially expressed genes between VSG and sham operated rats were only found in the hypothalamus and were predominantly involved in the regulation of endothelium and extracellular matrix. These results provide a detailed atlas of regional gene expression in the diabetic rat brain and suggest that the long term effects of gastrectomy-promoted diabetes remission involve functional changes in the hypothalamus endothelium.…”
