Inhibition of Classical and Alternative Complement Pathway by Ravulizumab and Eculizumab
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To explore the feasibility of classical (CH50) and alternative (AH50) complement pathway activity as potential biomarkers for treatment guidance and monitoring during therapy with ravulizumab in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and compare these to therapeutic drug monitoring under eculizumab.

C1q acts in the tumour microenvironment as a cancer-promoting factor independently of complement activation [PDF]
, 2015 Complement C1q is the activator of the classical pathway. However, it is now recognized that C1q can exert functions unrelated to complement activation.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies platelet‐derived extracellular vesicles as key immunometabolic regulators in COVID‐19. The delivery of tRF‐His‐GTG‐1 to neutrophils activates TLR8mTOR signaling, disrupts lipophagy, and amplifies NET‐mediated inflammation. Importantly, targeting this axis restores neutrophil homeostasis, offering a potential therapeutic strategy ...

Trends in Ocean S‐Isotopes May Be Influenced by Major LIP Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 341-376., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.
