chemoattractants

• The axons of motor neurons are guided by chemoattractants and chemorepellents to elongate toward target muscles so that the axon terminals can contact the prepatterned postsynaptic regions. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
• Dwinell MB, Lugering N, Eckmann L, Kagnoff MF (2001) Regulated production of interferon-inducible T-cell chemoattractants by human intestinal epithelial cells. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
• Cyclical activation and inactivation of Rho family small G proteins, such as Rho, Rac, and Cdc42, are needed for moving cells to form leading edge structures in response to chemoattractants. —  Journal of Biological Chemistry current issue
• By in vitro modeling increased mtDNA damage induced by rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I, in the RPE, we found that the phagocytic activity was not altered but that there were: 1) increased autophagic markers, 2) decreased lysosomal activity, 3) increased exocytotic activity and 4) release of chemoattractants. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
• 21] demonstrate that large adipocytes secrete proportionally more pro-inflammatory cytokines than anti-inflammatory cytokines when compared to small adipocytes, and crucially also secrete more chemoattractants associated with macrophage infiltration than smaller adipocytes. —  PLoS Biology
