Cloning and characterization of the guinea pig C5a anaphylatoxin receptor: interspecies diversity among the C5a receptors [PDF]
International Immunology, 1998 The anaphylatoxin C5a receptor (C5aR, CD88 in man) plays a prominent role in mediating inflammatory and host defense processes. Direct evidence of C5aR involvement in host defense mechanisms was demonstrated recently using C5aR knockout mice. Mice deficient in C5aR were unable to clear intrapulmonary-instilled bacteria. The guinea pig system is perhaps

Navigating adverse immunostimulation: A practical guide for clinical researchers
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Problem Setting As drug development moves towards more complex products, early clinical development programmes are increasingly hampered by unwanted and/or unexpected activation of the immune system (adverse immune stimulation, AIS). Solution At the Centre for Human Drug Research, we have introduced standardized procedures to make AIS manageable, while

Chimeric Receptors of the Human C3a Receptor and C5a Receptor (CD88) [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Chimeras were generated between the human anaphylatoxin C3a and C5a receptors (C3aR and C5aR, respectively) to define the structural requirements for ligand binding and discrimination. Chimeric receptors were generated by systematically exchanging between the two receptors four receptor modules (the N terminus, transmembrane regions 1 to 4, the second ...

BMEMat, EarlyView.The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration
BMEMat, EarlyView.The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

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 ...

Cloning of the Human C5a Anaphylatoxin Receptor, and More [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The initial observation in 1973 that the complement C5 activation product, C5a, has the ability to stimulate human neutrophils led to the concept of a specific C5a receptor (1). In the mid-1986, a groundbreaking paper published in Nature announced the cloning of the beta-adrenergic receptor, and for the first time established seven transmembrane (7TM ...

BMEMat, EarlyView.Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...
