The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

The interaction between circulating complement proteins and cutaneous microvascular endothelial cells in the development of childhood Henoch-Schönlein Purpura. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In addition to IgA, the deposition of complement (C)3 in dermal vessels is commonly found in Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). The aim of this study is to elucidate the role of circulating complement proteins in the pathogenesis of childhood HSP.Plasma ...

The tumour microenvironment links complement system dysregulation and hypoxic signalling. [PDF]

, 2018
The complement system is an innate immune pathway typically thought of as part of the first line of defence against "non-self" species. In the context of cancer, complement has been described to have an active role in facilitating cancer-associated ...

Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...

Comparison of Biocompatibility and Efficacy of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation and Unfractionated Heparin During Expanded Hemodialysis With a Medium Cut‐Off Membrane—A Randomized Trial

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In a randomized cross‐over trial, regional citrate anticoagulation provided superior biocompatibility over full‐dose unfractionated heparin during expanded hemodialysis with significantly lower activation of complement, granulocytes, and platelets without affecting dialysis efficiency. ABSTRACT Background Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) improves

Complement C3a and C5a Induce Different Signal Transduction Cascades in Endothelial Cells [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2002
Abstract In leukocytes, C3a and C5a cause chemotaxis in a Gi-dependent, pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive fashion. Because we found that HUVECs and immortalized human dermal microvascular endothelial cells express small numbers of C3aRs and C5aRs, we asked what the function of these receptors was on these cells.

Erythropoietin Effect on Complement Activation in Chronic Kidney Disease

Biomedicines
The complement system is an important part of innate immunity. Despite its known protective role, the complement system may contribute to increased inflammation and tissue injury in cases where its balanced activation is disrupted.
