Table of Contents:
  • Contents: CD44 and RHAMM (receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility) are cell adhesion and cell homing receptors
  • Cell migration
  • Generation of different CD44 isoforms
  • RHAMM also supports cell motility and is engaged in intracellular signalling
  • Collagen-induced arthritis and type 1 diabetes are CD44-dependent pathologies
  • Molecular redundancy
  • CD44 targeting by anti-CD44 mAb may eradicate not only malignant cells and destructive inflammatory cells but also CD44-expressing normal cells which are committed to physiological functions.
