How early studies of inflammation led to our current views on the roles of vascular adhesion molecules -- Adhesion of leukocytes from flow: The selectins and their ligands -- Co-operative signaling between leukocytes and endothelium mediating firm attachment -- Production and presentation of chemokines by endothelial cells -- Platelet-activating factor: A signaling molecule for leukocyte adhesion -- Tight junctions and adherens junctions in endothelial cells: Structure and regulation -- The role of PECAM in leukocyte emigration -- Selective lymphocyte migration into secondary lymphoid rrgans and inflamed tissues -- Oxidation-reduction sensitive regulation of vascular inflammatory gene expression -- Quantification and imaging of vascular adhesion molecule expression in inflammatory diseases in vivo -- Leukocyte adhesion and activation in xenografts -- Control of leukocyte adhesion and activation in ischemia-reperfusion injury -- Control of leukocyte adhesion and activation in atherogenesis
