Topics Covered

• 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
