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

open access: yesJournal 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

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Response to Perioperative Dexamethasone in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Targeted Panel Analysis

open access: yesActa Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 6, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Changes in the transcriptome of immune cells are predictive of clinical outcomes. These effects may be surgery‐specific and possibly modulated by glucocorticoids. We investigated the immune response and the impact of dexamethasone on the response in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The transcript levels (n =

Tumor‐stromal crosstalk and macrophage enrichment are associated with chemotherapy response in bladder cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1197-1212, June 2026.
Chemoresistance in bladder cancer: Macrophage recruitment associated with CXCL1, CXCL5 and CXCL8 expression is characteristic of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin (Gem/Cis) Non‐Responder tumors (right side) while Responder tumors did not show substantial tumor‐stromal crosstalk (left side). All biological icons are attributed to Bioicons: carcinoma, cancerous‐cell‐

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 1142-1166, June 2026.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Shifting From Systemic to Precision‐Targeted Complement Therapies: Opportunities and Hurdles

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
Complement therapeutics have expanded considerably, but systemic inhibitors remain limited by infection risks, breakthrough events, and loss of physiological functions. Emerging targeted approaches aim for organ‐, tissue‐, or cell‐specific modulation of complement activity, potentially offering greater precision while reducing treatment burden and ...

Multifaceted Role of Extracellular Vesicles: Intercellular Messengers to Therapeutic Applications: A Narrative Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale carriers, including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, that mediate intercellular communication by transporting proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. They regulate immunity, tissue repair, and cell differentiation.

Analysis of the Recovery of Immune Status in the Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria After Treatment With C5 Complement Inhibitor

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 12, June 2026.
We retrospectively evaluated the impact of C5 complement inhibition on immune cell profiles and recovery in 27 PNH patients; both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exhibited partial recovery, while B cell counts increased but remained below normal levels. In contrast, Treg cells were significantly reduced in PNH patients and showed no notable change post‐treatment.

Cell surface regulators of complement, 5I2 antigen, and CD59, in the rat eye and adnexal tissues.

open access: yesInvestigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1999
Cell surface complement regulatory proteins have been identified in high levels in ocular tissues, but no experimental model is available for examining their physiological roles. To develop such a model, the distribution of 5I2 antigen, a protein possessing the functions of the human decay-accelerating factor (DAF [CD55]) and membrane cofactor protein (
