Modeling the activation of the alternative complement pathway and its effects on hemolysis in health and disease. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 The complement system is a powerful mechanism of innate immunity poised to eliminate foreign cells and pathogens. It is an intricate network of >35 proteins, which, once activated, leads to the tagging of the surface to be eliminated, produces potent ...

Complement factor D is linked to platelet activation in human and rodent sepsis
Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2021 Background The complement factor D (CFD) exerts a regulatory role during infection. However, its physiological function in coagulopathy and its impact on the course of an infection remains unclear. Materials Wild-type and CFD-deficient mice (n = 91) were

Dengue virus and the complement alternative pathway [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2020 Dengue disease is an inflammatory‐driven pathology, and complement overactivation is linked to disease severity and vascular leakage. Additionally, dysregulation of complement alternative pathway (AP) components has been described, such as upregulation of complement factor D and downregulation of complement factor H (FH), which activate and inhibit the

The Complement System and ANCA Associated Vasculitis in the Era of Anti-Complement Drugs
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is the condition in which ANCA, as an autoantibody, is associated with the pathogenesis of vasculitis in small blood vessels, mainly in the ear, nose, throat, kidney, lung, and ...

The intersection of complemented submodules is not complemented [PDF]
J. Math. Anal. Appl. 522 (1) (2023) 127002, 2023 We show by (counter)example that the intersection of complemented submodules in a Hilbert $C^*$-module is not necessarily complemented, answering an open question from [MR].
