Human oligodendroglial cells express low levels of C1 inhibitor and membrane cofactor protein mRNAs

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2004
Background Oligodendrocytes, neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and endothelial cells are capable of synthesizing complement inhibitor proteins. Oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to complement attack, which is particularly observed in multiple sclerosis. This

The membrane attack complex as an indicator of complement hyperactivation in type 2 diabetes mellitus

open access: yesСахарный диабет, 2011
Aim. Comparative analysis of the levels of the membrane attack complex (MAC) - an end product of complement activation, and of hemolytic activitiesof C1 and C3 complement components in sera of patients with diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) and healthy subjects.

Real frontiers of fake planes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In [8], we define and partially classify fake real planes, that is, minimal complex surfaces with conjugation whose real locus is diffeomorphic to the euclidean real plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$.

A Novel C1-Esterase Inhibitor Oxygenator Coating Prevents FXII Activation in Human Blood

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The limited hemocompatibility of currently used oxygenator membranes prevents long-term use of artificial lungs in patients with lung failure. To improve hemocompatibility, we developed a novel covalent C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) coating.

Complement Activation in the Central Nervous System: A Biophysical Model for Immune Dysregulation in the Disease State

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Complement, a feature of the innate immune system that targets pathogens for phagocytic clearance and promotes inflammation, is tightly regulated to prevent damage to host tissue.

Angioedema hereditario en Medellín, Colombia: evaluación clínica y de la calidad de vida

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2015
Introducción. El angioedema hereditario es una inmunodeficiencia primaria de carácter autosómico dominante, debida a un déficit en la proteína inhibidora del factor C1 y caracterizada por episodios recurrentes de edema subcutáneo y de las mucosas.

The role of C1 inhibitor and complement as acute phase reactants: are we missing the diagnosis of hereditary angioedema?

open access: yesAllergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2021
Background C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) and complement 4 (C4) have historically been referred to as positive acute phase reactants, however this has never been evaluated in hereditary angioedema (HAE) patients.

The correlation between inflammatory biomarkers and polygenic risk score in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Plasma biomarkers to aid the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or to monitor disease progression have long been sought and continue to be widely studied.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Amniotic fluid embolism pathophysiology suggests the new diagnostic armamentarium: β-tryptase and complement fractions C3-C4 are the indispensable working tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an uncommon obstetric condition involving pregnant women during labor or in the initial stages after delivery. Its incidence is estimated to be around 5.5 cases per 100,000 deliveries.
