Post‐ischemia and reperfusion kidney injury is mitigated in a novel complement 5 knockout rat
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.

C5aR1 Activation Drives Early IFN-gamma Production to Control ExperimentalToxoplasma gondiiInfection [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a parasite infecting animals and humans. In intermediate hosts, such as humans or rodents, rapidly replicating tachyzoites drive vigorous innate and adaptive immune responses resulting in bradyzoites that survive within ...

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
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. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

Complement anaphylatoxins: Potential therapeutic target for diabetic kidney disease
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. The important complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a are key mediators of the innate immune system, which ...

The complement system: A key player in the host response to infections
Duality of the complement system during infection: An adequate immune defense clears the infection and restores tissue resilience, whereas a maladaptive response due to complement hyperactivation results in hyperinflammation and tissue injury, as seen in sepsis and pneumonia.

Old disease—New reflections: Gaucher, immunity, and inflammation
Abstract Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disease. It is a multisystemic metabolic disease caused by GBA pathogenic mutations. Although the general symptoms have been known for a long time, new treatment possibilities, the detection of different biomarkers, and innovations in diagnosis and follow‐up have paved the way for ...

Crepuscular rays — The bright side of complement after tissue injury
Traumatic injuries elicit an activation of the complement system. Due to its overwhelming nature, it's often described as harmful, while its protective effects are overlooked. This review focuses on and summarizes the advantageous aspects of complement shining as “sunbeams” through the otherwise negative‐afflicted “clouds” (i.e.
