CD177-mediated nanoparticle targeting of human and mouse neutrophils. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells, with a vital role in innate immune defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Although mostly associated with pathological processes directly related to immune defense, they can also play a ...

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

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 ...

Cross‐protective effect of a multicomponent fusion protein vaccine during a natural episode of Streptococcus zooepidemicus respiratory disease in ponies

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus is a highly diverse opportunistic pathogen of horses, associated with respiratory disease and endometritis. Objectives To characterise S. zooepidemicus isolates recovered from young ponies during a natural episode of respiratory disease, and to determine if vaccination with Strangvac®, a ...

C5a/C5aR1 Pathway Is Critical for the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, affecting ~2% of the population. The lack of characterization of the pathogenesis of psoriasis has hindered efficient clinical treatment of the disease.

Modulation of C5a–C5aR1 signaling alters the dynamics of AD progression

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background The complement system is part of the innate immune system that clears pathogens and cellular debris. In the healthy brain, complement influences neurodevelopment and neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, clearance of neuronal blebs, recruitment of ...

Unraveling the Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Proteome: Predictors of Resistance in Immunotherapy of Advanced Melanoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite substantial clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), advanced melanoma remains challenging due to frequent treatment resistance. Resistance may be intrinsic (primary) or emerge over time (secondary). Biomarkers predicting distinct resistance phenotypes before therapy are lacking.

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Increased local concentration of complement C5a contributes to incisional pain in mice

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2011
Background In our previous study, we demonstrated that local injection of complement C5a and C3a produce mechanical and heat hyperalgesia, and that C5a and C3a activate and sensitize cutaneous nociceptors in normal skin, suggesting a contribution of ...

Effect of molecular perturbation on cocrystal formation: theophylline and its 8‐halo analogues with flavonoids

Acta Crystallographica Section C, EarlyView.
The tendency for alkaloid–flavonoid cocrystal formation is found to be markedly different for theophylline (Tph) compared to its 8‐halo analogues. Through screening with 13 common flavonoids, Tph is found to form cocrystals with six flavonoids, whereas 8‐Cl‐Tph and 8‐Br‐Tph each form cocrystals with just two, myricetin and kaempferol.

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.
