Role of cell adhesion molecules in leukocyte recruitment in the liver and gut

Int J Exp Pathol. 2003 Feb;84(1):1-16. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2613.2003.00235.x.

Abstract

This article reviews the evidence that adhesion molecules are critical in leukocyte recirculation and pathogenesis of diseases affecting the closely related tissues of the liver and gut, which offer novel opportunities for treatment.
