Abstract

The study about the adhesion molecules pointed out their pathogenetic role in a lot of diseases within cardiological, nephrological, oncological precincts and in a lot of infectious diseases. Their role was in fact pointed out in the ischemic heart disease and in the reperfusion damage, in the glomerulonephritis, in the tumoural metastatic processes, in the infectious and inflammatory chronic processes. The Authors considered the recent literature and emphasized the therapeutic possibilities that such an experimental approach seems to suggest.
