The main purpose of this site is to provide its creator i.e. me :) with a platform from which I may conduct research. In essence I am trying to create a central hub that links all web-based knowledge of interest (science related of course). For anyone interested in the same type of material I hope this site can also provide some assistance. Any links you as a visitor feel should be included on this page may be sent to me via e-mail. Also, I hope to start research into the up-regulation of the expression of VCAM and other adhesion molecules endothelial cells. Particular intrest is the event(s) leading to the formation of foam cells. Without a doubt chemical messengers such as 5HT (seretonin) are involved. Another approach is to focus on the mechanics involved. It could be that the streching and pulling of neighboring endothlial cells are actings as signals increasing the mechanical stresses throughout. This action of course would be related to the actin, ARP, and IF networks. The first step would logically be to design a chart that depicts all the forces acting on the endothelium in relation to all possible signals. From this point the paths can be narrowed and the lab work can begin! Anyone interested, or with some knowledge on the subject feel free to e-mail me.
