Role of CD59 in experimental glomerulonephritis in rats

Kidney International, 1994
CD59 is a molecule which is present on the host cell membranes and inhibits formation of membrane attack complex. A monoclonal antibody, 6D1, recognizes a rat analogue of human CD59. 6D1 inhibits function of rat CD59 and can enhance complement-mediated hemolysis in vitro.

Endothelial cell-secreted SPARC suppresses astrocytic CD59 expression and promotes astrocytopathy in a mouse model of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders

Nature Communications
CD59 is an endogenous complement inhibitor that restricts membrane attack complex formation, protecting cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity. Dysfunctional CD59 leads to uncontrolled complement activation and contributes to the pathogenesis of ...

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Understanding extracellular vesicle biology, isolation, and characterization: The theory of EV‐erything

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

High Proportion of PNH Type II Neutrophils Is Associated With Thrombosis in Patients Displaying a PNH Clone ≥ 1%

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 9, Page 2311-2328, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The clinical significance of PNH Type II white blood cells (WBCs) remains unclear. We assessed the relative percentage (rel%) of Type II neutrophils in 355 patients with a PNH clone ≥ 1% on neutrophils enrolled by 33 flow cytometry laboratories in the 5‐year French nation‐wide multicenter prospective observational study.

Galectin‐4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Galectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.

Molecular Mediators Associated With Myelination, Demyelination, and Remyelination in the Peripheral Nervous System

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...
