Complexes of tetraspanins with integrins: more than meets the eye. (2001, background): “…are implicated in a variety of normal and pathological processes, such as tissue differentiation (Boismenu et al., 1996), egg-sperm fusion (Le Naour et al., 2000; Miyado et al., 2000), tumor-cell metastasis (Boucheix et al., 2001) and virus-induced syncytium formation (Fukudome et al., 1992).”
Proteomic Analysis of Dendritic Cell-Derived Exosomes: A Secreted Subcellular Compartment Distinct from Apoptotic Vesicles1 (2001, background): “CD9 also has an essential role in sperm-oocyte docking and/or fusion during fecundation (59, 60).”
Log-normal Distributions across the Sciences: Keys and Clues (2001, methodology): “The current practice in science is to use symmetrical bars in graphs to indicate standard deviations or errors, and the sign ± to summarize data, even though the data or the underlying principles may suggest skewed distributions (Factor et al. 2000, Keesing 2000, Le Naour et al. 2000, Rhew et al. ”
