Multiple-Organ Complement Deposition on Vascular Endothelium in COVID-19 Patients

Biomedicines, 2021
Increased levels of circulating complement activation products have been reported in COVID-19 patients, but only limited information is available on complement involvement at the tissue level.

Dual pathway spindle assembly increases both the speed and the fidelity of mitosis [PDF]

, 2011
Roughly half of all animal somatic cell spindles assemble by the classical prophase pathway, in which the centrosomes separate ahead of nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD).

Peptide inhibitor of complement C1 (PIC1), a novel suppressor of classical pathway activation: mechanistic studies and clinical potential

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
The classical pathway of complement plays multiple physiological roles including modulating immunological effectors initiated by adaptive immune responses as well as an essential homeostatic role in the clearance of damaged self-antigens.

Chimeric Proteins Containing MAP-1 and Functional Domains of C4b-Binding Protein Reveal Strong Complement Inhibitory Capacities

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement system is a tightly regulated network of proteins involved in defense against pathogens, inflammatory processes, and coordination of the innate and adaptive immune responses.

Is the A-Chain the Engine That Drives the Diversity of C1q Functions? Revisiting Its Unique Structure

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The immunopathological functions associated with human C1q are still growing in terms of novelty, diversity, and pathologic relevance. It is, therefore, not surprising that C1q is being recognized as an important molecular bridge between innate and ...

Staurosporine induces necroptotic cell death under caspase-compromised conditions in U937 cells [PDF]

, 2012
For a long time necrosis was thought to be an uncontrolled process but evidences recently have revealed that necrosis can also occur in a regulated manner.

Complement-coagulation cross-talk: a potential mediator of the physiological activation of complement by low pH

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
The complement system is a major constituent of the innate immune system. It not only bridges innate and adaptive arms of the immune system but also links the immune system with the coagulation system.
