Members of the CD44 transmembrane protein family have functions in many processes in normal life (for example, in haematopoiesis, the immune system and organogenesis), and in pathological situations ...

CD44, the major hyaluronan (HA) receptor, makes abundant use of alternative splicing and can be located in glycolipid-enriched microdomains (GEMs). The extracellular and the cytoplasmic domains can ...

Elevated salivary levels of CD44 and total protein (TP) can identify head and neck cancer patients with an increased risk for cancer recurrence, according to a study published online Aug. 15 in JAMA ...

Does knowledge guide practice? Another look at the management of non-small-cell lung cancer. CD44 is a hyaluronic acid receptor that exists as a standard 90-kd form (CD44S) as well as several CD44 ...

FLAIR, T1 contrast enhancement, MR perfusion, and FDG PET following hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HFSRT), bevacizumab (BEV), and temozolomide (TMZ) for glioblastoma (GBM). Background: ...

Researchers investigating the role of the protein CD44 in obesity and metabolic health found that CD44-deficient mice stayed lean even on a high-fat diet, while the control mice developed obesity. A ...

Scientists in China have found a new potential drug target for weight loss. Blocking a protein called CD44 has been shown to protect against obesity in mice on a high-fat diet, specifically by ...

Surprising findings from a study in The American Journal of Pathology show that mice with a CD44 protein deficiency stay lean, despite being on a high-fat diet Researchers investigating the role of ...

Breast cancers contain a minority population of cancer cells characterized by CD44 expression but low or undetectable levels of CD24 (CD44+CD24−/low) that have higher tumorigenic capacity than other ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers from Monash University and the Lions Eye Institute have discovered a tissue protein that acts as a central ‘traffic controller’ for immune cells and can ...
