C1q and central nervous system disorders
C1q is a crucial component of the complement system, which is activated through the classical pathway to perform non-specific immune functions, serving as the first line of defense against pathogens.

Decidual endothelial cells express surface-bound C1q as a molecular bridge between endovascular trophoblast and decidual endothelium [PDF]
This study was prompted by the observation that decidual endothelial cells (DECs), unlike endothelial cells (ECs) of blood vessels in normal skin, kidney glomeruli and brain, express surface-bound C1q in physiologic pregnancy. This finding was unexpected,

Is the anti-tumor property of Trypanosoma cruzi infection mediated by its Calreticulin?
Eight to 10 million people in 21 endemic countries are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. However, only 30% of those infected develop symptoms of Chagas’ disease, a chronic, neglected tropical disease worldwide. Similar to other pathogens, T.

Development of C1q Affinity Chromatography for the Study of C1q–IgG Interactions
Abstract The classical complement system represents a central effector mechanism of Abs initiated by the binding of C1q to target bound IgG. Human C1q contains six heterotrimeric globular head groups that mediate IgG interaction, resulting in an avidity-driven binding event involving multiple IgG molecules binding a single C1q ...

Effective dynamics of double solitons for perturbed mKdV [PDF]
We show that an interacting double soliton solution to the perturbed mKdV equation is close in $H^2$ to a double soliton following an effective dynamics obtained as Hamilton's equations for the restriction of the mKdV Hamiltonian to the submanifold of ...

A streamlined platform for glycosite‐specific antibody conjugation is enabled by LacNAc‐derived cyclic acetal donors, which can be prepared in only two steps and used directly in single‐enzyme Endo S2‐mediated transglycosylation. The platform supports the broad construction of homogeneous gsADCs and gsDACs, with donor 7 producing glycoengineered ...

Anti-C1q autoantibodies, novel tests and clinical consequences
Although anti-C1q autoantibodies have been described more than four decades ago a constant stream of papers describing clinical associations or functional consequences highlights that anti-C1q antibodies are still hot and happening.

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]
Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.

The ability of a well-known component of the complement cascade to bind to a variety of receptors has implications for signaling biology, spinal cord injury and, possibly, the evolution of the complement system.
