Complement C5a Induces Pro-inflammatory Microvesicle Shedding in Severely Injured Patients
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Initially underestimated as platelet dust, extracellular vesicles are continuously gaining interest in the field of inflammation. Various studies addressing inflammatory diseases have shown that microvesicles (MVs) originating from different cell types ...

NOD2-mediated suppression of CD55 on neutrophils enhances C5a generation during polymicrobial sepsis. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) 2 is a cytosolic protein that plays a defensive role in bacterial infection by sensing peptidoglycans. C5a, which has harmful effects in sepsis, interacts with innate proteins.

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...

1-Methyl-4-({5-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfanyl]pentyl}sulfanyl)benzene [PDF]
, 2009 There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C19H24S2. In both molecules, the aliphatic segment of the ligand is in an all-trans conformation: the –S–(CH2)5–S–bridging chain is almost planar (r.m.s.

Unlocking n‐alk‐1‐ynes conformers: Quantum “trigger finger” versus “stiff joint” conformations
Smart Molecules, EarlyView.Quantum chemical analysis reveals the unique function of n‐alk‐1‐yne terminus as a Quantum “Trigger Finger,” exhibiting two near‐isoenergetic conformers (Cs ${\mathrm{C}}_{s}$and C1 ${\mathrm{C}}_{1}$) locked by a symmetric high barrier. This contrasts with the lower asymmetric barrier of the conventional asymmetric “Stiff Joint” alkyl chain.

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE‐Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food allergies (FA) represent a significant global health burden. Upon allergen re‐exposure, allergic patients exhibit a sequence of symptoms that vary in terms of affected organ systems, severity, time of onset and allergen reactivity thresholds.
