Structure-function analysis of vascular tethering molecules using atomic force microscope

During hemostatic and inflammatory responses, cell adhesion molecules play a major role in regulating the leukocytes and platelets adhesion to vascular surfaces under the hydrodynamic environment of the circulation. Selectin-ligand interactions (bonds) mediate leukocyte rolling on vascular surfaces....
