Future Needs in Mast Cell Biology. [PDF]
The pathophysiological roles of mast cells are still not fully understood, over 140 years since their description by Paul Ehrlich in 1878. Initial studies have attempted to identify distinct "subpopulations" of mast cells based on a relatively small ...

The relevance of complement in pemphigoid diseases: A critical appraisal [PDF]
Pemphigoid diseases are autoimmune chronic inflammatory skin diseases, which are characterized by blistering of the skin and/or mucous membranes, and circulating and tissue-bound autoantibodies.

Background and Purpose Activated fibroblasts deposit fibrotic matrix in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and G‐protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most druggable therapeutic targets. Here, we set out to establish a transcriptional profile that identifies activated kidney fibroblasts and the GPCRs that they express.

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

Complement peptide receptors in GtoPdb v.2021.3 [PDF]
Complement peptide receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR subcommittee on Complement peptide receptors [107]) are activated by the endogenous ~75 amino-acid anaphylatoxin polypeptides C3a and C5a, generated upon stimulation of the complement ...

C5a Receptor Deficiency Alters Energy Utilization and Fat Storage [PDF]
Objective: To investigate the impact of whole body C5a receptor (C5aR) deficiency on energy metabolism and fat storage. Design: Male wildtype (WT) and C5aR knockout (C5aRKO) mice were fed a low fat (CHOW) or a high fat high sucrose diet-induced obesity ...
