For example, carriership of the Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation increases the risk for venous thromboembo- lism (VTE) to an estimated 10–20% in a lifetime, but the genotype is neither sufficient nor necessary for VTE to occur.42 Genetic components of multifactorial traits can affect the ...

Third, TG2 is a crucial factor in expanding the presentable gluten peptide repertoire. In steady state conditions, TG2 is present in an inactive form intracellular and on the cell surface. An intriguing question is, therefore, how TG2 is activated and released in CD. We propose that TG2 is...
CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor with a single ligand, CXCL12 (stromal cell-derived factor-alpha, SDF1-a), that also binds CXCR7 [57]. The CXCR4-CXCL12 pathway is involved in many biological features associated with cell migration and homeostasis, among them homing of bone marrow stem cells,...
