演  題: Recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccines for induction of cross-protective immunity and antigen delivery
概  要: Therapeutic antagonists and the conformational regulation of integrin structure and function

Integrins are a structurally elaborate family of adhesion molecules that transmit signals bidirectionally across the plasma membrane by undergoing large scale structural rearrangements. By regulating cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts, integrins participate in a wide-range of biological interactions including development, tissue repair, angiogenesis, inflammation and hemostasis. From a therapeutic standpoint, integrins are probably the most important class of cell adhesion receptors. Recent progress in development of antagonists to integrins has resulted in their clinical application and shed new light on integrin biology. The small molecule antagonists highlight the importance of the structural linkages within and between integrin domains for transmission of the conformational signals and regulation of the overall conformation.
