Complement and non-complement activating functions of C1q: A prototypical innate immune molecule

open access: yesInnate Immunity, 2011
C1q is a versatile innate immune molecule that serves as the initiation subcomponent of the classical complement pathway. In addition, it is also a potent pattern recognition molecule, the versatility of which has fuelled its functional flexibility. C1q recognises an array of self, non-self and altered-self ligands.

Circulating Metabolites Treat Human TMJ‐OA by Eliminating Senescent Chondrocytes via the C1QBP/C1q/p14ARF Axis

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ‐OA) is a progressive degenerative disorder, for which therapeutic interventions remain limited. The disruption of metabolic homeostasis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and advancement of TMJ‐OA.

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Galectin-3 – A novel ligand of complement protein C1q

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Macromolecules
In the present study we report a novel interaction of human C1q, a primary activator of the Complement system, with human Galectin-3 (Gal-3). We investigated the potential recognition between C1q and Gal-3 on a solid hydrophobic surface by ELISA, by fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD).

Tumor‐Associated Macrophages as Therapeutic Targets: Deciphering Interaction Networks and Advancing Clinical Translation

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tumor‐associated macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, driving malignant progression and treatment resistance. This review summarizes the protumor mechanisms of TAMs (including phagocytosis modulation, metabolic reprogramming, exosomal communication, and immune interactions), evaluates three major strategies ...

Stem Cell Therapy for Inflammatory Diseases: Progress, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Stem cells offer multifaceted therapeutic approaches for inflammatory diseases, each exhibiting distinct therapeutic properties. Hematopoietic stem cells, primarily through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), can effectively remodel the immune environment, showing particular promise in treating genetically linked cases.
