CD46 knock-out using CRISPR/Cas9 editing of hTERT immortalized human cells modulates complement activation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The kidney is especially sensitive to diseases associated with overactivation of the complement system. While most of these diseases affect kidney glomeruli and the microvasculature, there is also evidence for tubulointerstitial deposition of complement ...

Alteration of membrane complement regulators is associated with transporter status in patients on peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
INTRODUCTION:A growing body of evidence from animal models and cell culture studies indicate an important role of a local regulatory complement system (CS) in peritoneal injury during peritoneal dialysis (PD).

Thromboinflammatory biomarkers in obstetric pathophysiology: Predictive insights into placental insufficiency and feto‐maternal adverse outcomes

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Placental insufficiency is a thromboinflammatory disorder driven by angiogenic imbalance, complement activation, endothelial dysfunction and coagulation dysregulation, leading to microvascular thrombosis, impaired uteroplacental perfusion and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, including pre‐eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth. Abstract

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...

Reduced Complement and Granulocyte Activation by α‐Gal Knockout Porcine Pericardium for Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: A Pilot Hemocompatibility Study

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genetically modified, α‐Gal‐depleted porcine pericardium and wild type tissues are investigated for hemocompatibility and material properties such as mechanobiology and ECM profile to carve out the suitability of the gene‐modified tissue as material for biological heart valve prostheses. ABSTRACT Xenogeneic pericardium is the main source for biological

Microparticle-mediated transfer of the viral receptors CAR and CD46, and the CFTR channel in a CHO cell model confers new functions to target cells.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cell microparticles (MPs) released in the extracellular milieu can embark plasma membrane and intracellular components which are specific of their cellular origin, and transfer them to target cells.

Molecular Profiling of Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from Boar Reproductive Fluids

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane‐bound structures that facilitate intercellular communication in the reproductive system, modulating gamete maturation, capacitation, immunomodulation and fertilization. Despite pigs’ high relevance as a biomedical model, many aspects of EV biology remain poorly understood.

CD46 Contributes to the Severity of Group A Streptococcal Infection [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2008
ABSTRACTStreptococcus pyogenes(group AStreptococcus) is a human pathogen that causes a wide variety of diseases ranging from uncomplicated superficial infections to severe infections such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis. These bacteria interact with several host cell receptors, one of which is the cell surface complement

Anti-Neu5Gc and anti-non-Neu5Gc antibodies in healthy humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Our group previously investigated the levels of anti-Gal and anti-nonGal IgM and IgG in a cohort of 75 healthy humans of various backgrounds, and found some significant differences related to factors such as age, gender, ABO blood group, diet ...
