3D‐printing of Methacryloylated Recombinant Collagen for Tissue Engineering
ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 17, 5 May 2026.Recombinant collagen‐like proteins offer promise as alternatives to mammalian collagens. There is less risk of disease transfer, and changes in structure can be readily introduced. Here, a recombinant collagen‐like protein was methacryloylated for extrusion printing and rapid photo‐crosslinking.

The Role of Humoral Innate Immunity in Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Viruses, 2012 Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) causes chronic disease in approximately 80% of cases, resulting in chronic inflammation and cirrhosis. Current treatments are not completely effective, and a vaccine has yet to be developed.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Human SP-D is a potent innate immune molecule whose presence at pulmonary mucosal surfaces allows its role in immune surveillance against pathogens. Higher levels of serum SP-D have been reported in the patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

Arg343 in Human Surfactant Protein D Governs Discrimination between Glucose and N-Acetylglucosamine Ligands [PDF]
, 2004 Surfactant protein D (SP-D), one of the members of the collectin family of C-type lectins, is an important component of pulmonary innate immunity. SP-D binds carbohydrates in a calcium-dependent manner, but the mechanisms governing its ligand recognition

S-nitrosylation of surfactant protein-D controls inflammatory function. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 The pulmonary collectins, surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) have been implicated in the regulation of the innate immune system within the lung. In particular, SP-D appears to have both pro- and anti-inflammatory signaling functions. At present,

In vivo clearance of surfactant lipids during acute pulmonary inflammation. [PDF]
, 2004 Background A decrease in pulmonary surfactant has been suggested to contribute to the lung dysfunction associated with pulmonary inflammation. A number of studies have implicated surfactant clearance as a possible mechanism for altered pool sizes.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.Proteomic profiling of tissue explant‐ and plasma‐derived extracellular vesicles identified colon adenocarcinoma‐associated and healthy‐associated EV proteins. A 10‐protein EV panel enabled highly sensitive blood‐based detection of colon adenocarcinoma, showed marked postoperative changes, and retained performance in an independent validation cohort ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We present the first high‐quality annotated genome of Pinna rudis and an updated genome assembly for Pinna nobilis, two Mediterranean fan mussel species differentially affected by mass mortality events. Comparative genomic analyses of gene sets associated with the “defensome” show that these genes are largely functionally conserved between the two ...
