Bufalin Inhibits Cytokine Storm by Regulating TLR4/TLR3 Signaling Pathway

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bufalin is one main component of the dried venom from Bufo gargarizans Cantor, which has anti‐tumor, cardiotonic, anti‐inflammatory and other physiological activities. However, in recent years, researchers have mainly paid attention to its anti‐tumor effect and neglected its anti‐inflammatory effect.

Complement factors C3a and C5a mimick a proinflammatory microenvironment and increase HBV IGRA sensitivity

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections represent a global health problem and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, timely diagnosis of hepatitis B is crucial to ensure adequate treatment.

Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant differentially activates the three complement pathways with major involvement of the alternative pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Al(OH)3 is the most common adjuvant in human vaccines, but its mode of action remains poorly understood. Complement involvement in the adjuvant properties of Al(OH)3 has been suggested in several reports together with a depot effect. It is here confirmed

Pulmonary intravascular macrophages: Prime suspects as cellular mediators of porcine CARPA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pigs provide a highly sensitive and quantitative in vivo model for complement (C) activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA), a hypersensitivity reaction caused by some state-of-art nanomedicines.

The Complement System in ANCA‐Associated Vasculitis: Mechanistic Insights, Therapeutic Horizons, and Unmet Clinical Needs

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Complement activation, particularly via the alternative pathway, drives inflammation and organ damage in ANCA‐associated vasculitis. This review highlights mechanistic insights, tissue and biomarker evidence, and clinical implications of targeting the C5a–C5aR1 axis.

Venom from Bothrops lanceolatus, a Snake Species Native to Martinique, Potently Activates the Complement System

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2018
Bothrops lanceolatus snake venom causes systemic thrombotic syndrome but also local inflammation involving extensive oedema, pain, and haemorrhage. Systemic thrombotic syndrome may lead to fatal pulmonary embolism and myocardial and cerebral infarction ...

Off-pump coronary bypass surgery adversely affects alveolar gas exchange [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
While the introduction of off-pump myocardial revascularization (OPCAB) has initially shown promise in reducing respiratory complications inherent to conventional coronary surgery, it has failed to eradicate them.

Reprogramming Immunogenicity of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles through Sulfated Glycan Presentation

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 11, 20 February 2026.
This study presents a comparative analysis of heparin (HP)‐ and dextran sulfate (DS)‐coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a tunable immunomodulatory platform where surface chemistry dictates therapeutic function. DS‐SPIONs are preferentially internalized by myeloid cells, reprogramming them into a pro‐healing M2 phenotype ...

C1q acts in the tumour microenvironment as a cancer-promoting factor independently of complement activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Complement C1q is the activator of the classical pathway. However, it is now recognized that C1q can exert functions unrelated to complement activation.

Proteomic profiling of porcine seminal extracellular vesicles reveals potential in vivo fertility biomarkers

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 555-570, February 2026.
Abstract Background Predicting male fertility in farm animals remains a challenge. Seminal plasma (SP) contains a high amount of heterogeneous seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs), believed involved in reproductive processes and maybe key to understanding male fertility.
