Cold Agglutinin Disease

West Virginia Medical Journal, 2017
Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) is a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) characterized by the unique property of IgM autoantibodies binding to red blood cells (RBCs) at low temperatures. Agglutination of RBCs and activation of complement are precursors to expression of clinical features manifested as ischemic changes and hemolysis.

TRIM40 Drives Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure via Ubiquitination of PKN2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the E3 ligase TRIM40 as a key driver of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. TRIM40 binds PKN2 via its B‐box domain and, through its C29‐dependent catalytic activity, mediates K63‐linked ubiquitination of PKN2. This modification enhances PKN2 phosphorylation at Ser815, thereby driving hypertrophy.

Positive predictive value of diagnosis coding for hemolytic anemias in the Danish National Patient Register [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: The nationwide public health registers in Denmark provide a unique opportunity for evaluation of disease-associated morbidity if the positive predictive values (PPVs) of the primary diagnosis are known.

A unique case of red blood cell agglutination reaction on glass surface in otherwise normal sample

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science
Autoimmune hemolytic anemias (AIHAs) are not very common, and autoimmunity is an important cause of hemolytic anemia, especially in female population. Some primary AIHAs are cold or warm agglutinin mediated anemia. Autoimmune reaction leads to macrophage

CardiLect: A combined cross‐species lectin histochemistry protocol for the automated analysis of cardiac remodelling

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1398-1415, April 2025.
Abstract Background Cardiac remodelling, a crucial aspect of heart failure, is commonly investigated in preclinical models by quantifying cardiomyocyte cross‐sectional area (CSA) and microvascular density (MVD) via histological methods, such as immunohistochemistry.

COVID-19 and Cold Agglutinin Hemolytic Anemia

TH Open, 2020
Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread throughout the world and has infected close to 4 million people. It commonly presents with fever, cough, and fatigue. Due to the high inflammatory response, it is suggested that the coagulation cascade

Alpha-tocopherol exerts protective function against the mucotoxicity of particulate matter in amphibian and human goblet cells [PDF]

, 2020
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) in ambient air is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders and mortality. The cytotoxicity of PM is mainly due to the abnormal increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cellular components ...

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.
