Microglia, a type of CNS immune cell, have been shown to contribute to ethanol-activated neuronal death of the stress regulatory proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neuron-producing β-endorphin peptides in the hypothalamus in a postnatal rat model of fetal ...

The utility of molecularly imprinted polymers for mass spectrometric protein and proteomics analysis
Abstract Selective and efficient sample clean‐up is important in mass spectrometric protein‐ and proteomics analyses from biological matrices. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), polymers prepared to have tailor‐made cavities for capture of target analytes may by such represent an interesting alternative for selective clean‐up.

Human C1q Induces Apoptosis in an Ovarian Cancer Cell Line via Tumor Necrosis Factor [PDF]
Copyright: © 2016 Kaur, Sultan, Murugaiah, Pathan, Alhamlan, Karteris and Kishore. Human C1q is the first recognition subcomponent of the complement classical pathway that plays a vital role in the clearance of immune complexes, pathogens and apoptotic ...

Tumor Cells Hijack Macrophage-Produced Complement C1q to Promote Tumor Growth
The density of C1q-producing TAMs and C4d deposits, hallmarks of complement activation, are negative prognostic factors in human clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.

Role of collectins and complement protein C1q in pregnancy and parturition [PDF]
Collectins such as surfactant proteins SP-A, SP-D, and mannan-binding lectin (MBL), as well as complement protein C1q are evolutionarily conserved innate immune molecules. They are known to opsonize a range of microbial pathogens (bacteria, fungi, virus, and parasites) and trigger effector clearance mechanisms involving phagocytosis and/or complement ...

C1q-targeted inhibition of the classical complement pathway prevents injury in a novel mouse model of acute motor axonal neuropathy [PDF]
Introduction Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease that results in acute paralysis through inflammatory attack on peripheral nerves, and currently has limited, non-specific treatment options.

C1 Complex: An Adaptable Proteolytic Module for Complement and Non-Complement Functions
Complement C1 is the defining component of the classical pathway. Within the C1qC1r2C1s2 complex, C1q functions as a molecular scaffold for C1r2C1s2 and C1q binding to its ligands activates these two serine proteases.

Engineering novel complement activity into a pulmonary surfactant protein [PDF]
Complement neutralizes invading pathogens, stimulates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, and targets non- or altered-self structures for clearance.

Commensurability classes of 2-bridge knot complements [PDF]
We show that a hyperbolic 2-bridge knot complement is the unique knot complement in its commensurability class. We also discuss constructions of commensurable hyperbolic knot complements and put forth a conjecture on the number of hyperbolic knot complements in a commensurability class.
