Activation of the Lectin Pathway Drives Persistent Complement Dysregulation in Long COVID

Immunology, EarlyView.
The complement cascade, a series of blood proteins that assists in the recognition and neutralisation of pathogens, either independently or in conjunction with antibodies, is persistently activated in patients with long COVID. We found that blood plasma samples from patients with long COVID contained elevated concentrations of the mannan‐binding lectin‐

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 ...
