Something should be said about selectins, integrins, chemokines, and inflammation. Will do at later date if nobody volunteers. genius86
[edit] Merger proposal
I've proposed a merger of the "Diapedesis" and "Leukocyte adhesion cascade" articles. Both are describing the same thing, though from slightly different perspectives: "Leukocyte adhesion cascade" is more understandable to a lay audience, while "Diapedesis" has a more concise and comprehensive overview. Interestingly, "Leukocyte adhesion cascade" has a lot of specific information about selectins. However, both articles need wikification.
I wasn't sure what title to use, since "Leukocyte adhesion cascade" describes the initial cellular arrest, while "Diapedesis" describes the subsequent endothelial transmigration. Perhaps the title "Leukocyte extravasation" would be suitable. I'll volunteer to merge the two articles in a week or two if there are no serious objections. Feel free to leave any comments here. Cheers. --Liveste 06:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
