Surface Modification of Biomaterials: A Quest for Blood Compatibility by Achala de Mel, Brian G. Cousins, Alexander M. Seifalian

“…These modifications aim to modulate platelet responses directly through modulation of thrombogenic proteins or by inducing antithrombogenic biomolecules that can be biofunctionalised onto surfaces or through inducing an active endothelium. Nanotechnology is recognising a great role in such surface modification of cardiovascular implants through biofunctionalisation of polymers and peptides in nanocomposites and through nanofabrication of polymers which will pave the way for finding a closer blood match through haemostasis when developing cardiovascular implants with a greater degree of patency.…”

Myeloid-Related Protein Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Charles J. Malemud

“…In that regard, MRP-8 and MRP-14 regulate the inflammatory response through their capacity to recruit neutrophils and monocytes to target tissues resulting in attachment to endothelium. MRPs also activate the signal transduction pathway principally involving the stress-activated/mitogen-activated protein kinases. …”

Monte carlo simulation of heterotypic cell aggregation in nonlinear shear flow by Jiakou Wang, Margaret J. Slattery, Meghan Henty Hoskins, Shile Liang, Cheng Dong, Qiang Du

“…In particular,we focus on leukocyte (PMN)-melanoma cell emboli formation and subsequenttethering to the vascular endothelium (EC) as a result of cell-cell aggregation.The simulation results are compared with the results of experimental measurement.Discussions are made on how we could further improve the accuracy ofthe population balance type modelling.…”

Allogeneic Antigen Composition for Preparing Universal Cancer Vaccines by Petr G. Lokhov, Elena E. Balashova

“…Recently it was demonstrated that tumors induce specific changes to the surface of human endothelial cells thereby providing the basis for designing endothelial cell-based vaccines that directly target antigens expressed by the tumor endothelium. The present report extends these studies in vitro by investigating the efficacy of allogeneic antigens with regard to their ability to target immune responses against the tumor vasculature since alloantigens simplify vaccine development and implementation in clinical practice. …”

Unusual Presentation of Phacolytic Glaucoma: Simulating Microbial Keratitis by Srikant Kumar Sahu, Siddharth Keswarwani, Ruchi Mittal

“…We report an unusual case where the dislocated cataractous lens firmly adherent to the corneal endothelium evoked a cellular reaction similar to phacolytic glaucoma but clinically appeared like a deep corneal abscess. …”
