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

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]
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
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.

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

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
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]
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.
