Combinatorial activation of the WNT‐dependent fibrogenic program by distinct complement subunits in dystrophic muscle

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023
Fibrosis is associated with compromised muscle functionality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We report observations with tissues from dystrophic patients and mice supporting a model to explain fibrosis in DMD, which relies on the crosstalk between ...

Oral Manifestations of Non Vascular Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome Cross‐Sectional Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ehlers–Danlos syndromes are rare hereditary connective tissue disorders; however, their oral manifestations remain poorly characterized in molecularly confirmed individuals. The aim of this study was to describe the oral phenotype of patients with non‐vascular Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes compared to healthy controls.

Data comparing the kinetics of procollagen type I processing by bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP-1) with and without procollagen C-proteinase enhancer 1 (PCPE-1)

Data in Brief, 2016
This article provides kinetic constants for C-terminal processing of procollagen type I by bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP-1; the major procollagen C-proteinase), a reaction stimulated by the connective tissue glycoprotein procollagen C-proteinase ...

Potential therapeutic benefit of C1-esterase inhibitor in neuromyelitis optica evaluated in vitro and in an experimental rat model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system in which binding of anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) autoantibodies (NMO-IgG) to astrocytes causes complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and inflammation resulting ...

Distinct Roles of Classical and Lectin Pathways of Complement in Preeclamptic Placentae

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by defective vascular remodeling in maternal decidua responsible for reduced blood flow leading to functional and structural alterations in the placenta. We have investigated the contribution of the

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Distinct Proteomic Signatures Driving Progression of Sarcopenia: A Longitudinal Multicohort Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is an age‐related condition characterized by progressive muscle mass, strength and physical performance declines, contributing to frailty and adverse health outcomes. Despite increasing interest in molecular biomarkers, longitudinal data with external validation are limited.

Molecular Insights Into Canine Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Comparison With Human HCC

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 523-536, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Canine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires further molecular characterization to identify diagnostic and therapeutic targets, and to establish whether dogs with this condition can model the human disease. Accordingly, we aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in canine HCC and evaluate cross‐species transcriptomic ...

The fc fragment of IgMs binds C1q to activate the first step of the classical complement pathway, while inhibiting complement‐dependent cytotoxicity

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1358-1375, March 2026.
Multimeric IgM‐fragment crystallizable region (Fc) fragments retain the ability to bind C1q and initiate the classical complement pathway, leading to C4 activation and deposition in vitro. However, the Fc cores can also inhibit complement‐dependent cytotoxicity by competing with surface‐bound antibodies for C1q engagement.
