CD14

Some search terms matched

CD14 helps immune cells recognize microbial components, including bacterial lipopolysaccharide, as part of innate immune signaling. This places it upstream of some cytokine responses. Also called: Cluster of Differentiation 14 How immune ce…

COL5A1

Some search terms matched

COL5A1 encodes one component of type V collagen, which helps organize collagen fibers. It connects to the strength and structure of tendons, skin and other connective tissues. Also called: Collagen Type V Alpha 1 Chain Collagen structure, t…

Best match puts all-term matches before partial matches and related reading. Identical social posts and matching long titles across other sources are grouped when access is the same. Search covers published titles, descriptions, available article text, report overviews, and the full text of the nutrient, gene and learning-essential reference pages. Books, uploaded chapters and downloads-page reports are searchable through selected editorial guides and topic names; the original files and full book text are not published. Full Drive reports are not copied into search. Substack subscriber titles and public summaries are included; full subscriber content opens on Substack. Video transcripts are added when available.
