Cell Adhesion Factors

    Last Updated: April 29, 2017

    Cell Adhesion Factors are small targets expressed by blood vessels and organs to attract immune cells (and 'adhere' them to the cell) and draw them into tissue. Suppressing these factors is immunosuppressive, but may alleviate artherosclerosis.
