Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma
Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 1571-1586, May 2026.Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...Cong Dong, Shaohua Lu, Zhenan Deng, Xuliang Cai, Huahao Shen, Guochao Shi, Changxing Ou, Zuofu Peng, Wei Jiang, Xiuhua Fu, Changzheng Wang, Meiling Jin, Zhongmin Qiu, Xiaoyang Wei, Wei Gu, Kewu Huang, Qiang Li, Xiangyan Zhang, Nanshan Zhong, Kian Fan Chung, Qingling Zhang, on behalf of C‐BIOPRED Consortium, Jiangtao Lin, Yongming Zhang, Nan Su, Xiaoyan Zhang, Qing Zhao, Ying Nong, Ping Chen, Tianyi Zhu, Binbin Ji, Yan Wang, Haitao Zhao, Jinbao Wang, Zhiyuan Zhang, Xiaona Yang, Chunhua Wei, Jing Han, Nong Yu, Qiang Li, Zhifu Yang, Yanhong Liu, Guohua Li, Huadong Guan, Shuping Zhang, Xiuhua Fu, Lihong Wang, Lingxin Meng, Zhenting Sun, Guangqin Cao, Lei Zhao, Kewu Huang, Hong Zhang, Wen Wang, Li An, Yangyu Chen, Yanli Gao, Xiaoxia Liu, Huifen Zhai, Fang Lin, Zhaohui Zhong, Zhongguang Wen, Yan Xiao, Jian Kang, Linfei Kong, Xinming Su, Xue Yan, Dijia Zhou, Huaping Tang, Wei Han, Yi Shu, Tintian Li, Lixin Xie, Hong Hu, Bo Liu, Yuzhu Li, Longmei Fan, Yue Zhang, Shifeng Zhao, Xiaofang Liu, Yuhong Wang, Xichun Zhang, Xinmao Wang, Pen Bai, Guangfa Wang, Yan Hu, Zhanwei Hu, Ju Cao, Bei He, Rui Wu, Xiaoyan Gai, Hong Zhu, Zhihai Han, Jiyi Meng, Wei Chen, Li Ma, Zhenqian Liu, Chunyang Zhang, Yan Zhang, Huahao Shen, Fugui Yan, Bin Shen, Xinghong Wang, Hao Zhang, Yinghua Yin, Jinkai Liu, Yanxiong Mao, Mao Huang, Xin Yao, Mao Huang, Ji Zhou, Zhenzhen Wu, Ping Yan, Yujie Zhang, Xinling Yang, Ningfei Ji, Fan Fei, Wanzhen Fu, Yi Yang, Yuting Shi, Wangjian Cha, Guochao Shi, Min Zhou, Wei Tang, Wei Chen, Jun Zhou, Wenjie Yang, Lei Zhu, Meiling Jin, Liping Xue, Li Li, Chun Li, Yin Gong, Qiang Li, Guogang Xie, Luhong Bao, Wuping Bao, Nianyun Li, Fengming Ding, Min Zhang, Zhongmin Qiu, Li Yu, Jungang Xie, Lingling Yi, Xianghuai Xu, Qiang Chen, Junjun Tang, Jinfu Xu, Xiaobing Ji, Jingyun Shi, Bo Su, Xiaojun Yang, Jiuwen Bai, Shuo Liang, Kebing Cheng, Wei Gu, Jiyong Ma, Yun Liu, Jun Ren, Shan Mao, Qingling Zhang, Baoqing Sun, Jiaxing Xie, Rihuang Qiu, Zhiqiang Wang, Peiyan Zhen, Wenting Luo, Changgao Zhong, Wei Luo, Yanqing Xie, Xinxin Yu, Wenting Yu, Wei He, Changzheng Wang, Qianli Ma, Min Wan, Mingzhou Zhang, Haining Li, Shaoxi Cai, Haijin Zhao, Yanmei Ye, Fang Zhou, Laiyu Liu, Guohua Huang, Jianpeng Liang, Jianping Zhao, Jungang Xie, Qiongjie Hu, Kaiyan Li, Wang Ni, Guohua Zheng, Weining Xiong, Lingling Yi, Xihu Du, Yunhui Zhang, Zhi Li, Xiaoqiong Tan, Feng Liao, Shenglan Wang, Yijiang Huang, Xinjun Cai, Kai Liu, Shaojing Sheng, Yihui Fu, Shenghua Sun, Qiang Zhang, Jinweng Cai, Ye Ling, Pin Chen, Hong Luo, Lv Liu, Zhijun Liu, Yuling Tang, Yusheng Yan, Guiyan Mo, Long Wen, Yinqun Zhu, Du Fan +217 morewiley +1 more sourceEvaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Avacopan, a C5a Receptor Inhibitor, in Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Treated Concomitantly With Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide/Azathioprine: Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 21, November 2025.Abstract
Ischemia‐reperfusion injury (IRI) is the central contributing factor to acute kidney injury (AKI). Kidney tissue that becomes necrotic during this process releases a variety of pro‐inflammatory factors, driving activation of the complement cascade.Madison McGraw, Amod Sharma, Dinesh Bhattarai, Neelam Joshi, Neriman Gokden, Seong‐Ok Lee, Gopinath Venugopal, Nirmala Parajuli +7 morewiley +1 more sourceFrom Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans.

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of kidney failure, characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. The complement system is increasingly implicated in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy.
