DYSFUNCTION OF COMPLEMENT SYSTEM IN FAMILIAL MEDITERRANEAN FEVER
Медицинская иммунология, 2014 . During attacks of familial mediterranean fever (FMF), multiple systemic events are triggered, most of which promote autoinflammatory reactions. A molecular pattern of immune abnormalities in FMF is yet unclear.

Quantitative Modeling of the Alternative Pathway of the Complement System. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The complement system is an integral part of innate immunity that detects and eliminates invading pathogens through a cascade of reactions. The destructive effects of the complement activation on host cells are inhibited through versatile regulators that

Comparison of dominant and nondominant C3 deposition in primary glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023 Background Alternative complement pathway dysregulation plays a key role in glomerulonephritis (GN) and is associated with C3 deposition. Herein, we examined pathological and clinical differences between cases of primary GN with C3-dominant (C3D-GN) and ...

The lectin pathway of complement activation is a critical component of the innate immune response to pneumococcal infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 The complement system plays a key role in host defense against pneumococcal infection. Three different pathways, the classical, alternative and lectin pathways, mediate complement activation.

Lower glycolysis carries a higher flux than any biochemically possible alternative [PDF]
Nature Communications 6, 8427 (2015), 2014 The universality of many pathways of core metabolism suggests a strong role for evolutionary selection, but it remains unclear whether existing pathways have been selected from a large or small set of biochemical possibilities. To address this question, we construct "in silico" all possible biochemically feasible alternatives to the trunk pathway of ...

Alternative complement pathway deregulation is correlated with dengue severity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:The complement system, a key component that links the innate and adaptive immune responses, has three pathways: the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways. In the present study, we have analyzed the levels of various complement components

Primary extranodal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: Molecular features, treatment, and prognosis
Aging and Cancer, Volume 3, Issue 3-4, Page 133-146, September-December 2022., 2022 One‐third of DLBCL arises from extranodal organs and is challenging to manage. Molecular features are critical to elucidate the differences in clinical features, predict the disease prognosis, and improve effective targeted therapeutic strategies. Abstract Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and ...
