Biomarkers of the Complement System Activation (C3a, C5a, sC5b-9) in Serum of Patients before and after Liver Transplantation

Biomedicines, 2023
The liver has a huge impact on the functioning of our body and the preservation of homeostasis. It is exposed to many serious diseases, which may lead to the chronic failure of this organ, which is becoming a global health problem today.

Complement Split Products C3a and C4a in Chronic Lyme Disease [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2008
AbstractComplement split products C3a and C4a are reportedly elevated in patients with acute Lyme disease. We have now examined these immunologic markers in patients with chronic Lyme disease compared to appropriate disease controls. The study population consisted of 29 healthy controls, 445 patients with chronic Lyme disease, 11 patients with systemic

Intelligent Programmable Membrane Nanosponge for Early Virus Blocking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart programmable nanosponge (ACNPs) displays high‐density viral receptors on its membrane and encapsulates fusion inhibitors to capture virions at the infection source through competitive binding and blocks their entry through protease inhibition for ultra‐early cascade interception. This modular, mucus‐penetrating platform shifts antiviral defence

Potent thiophene antagonists of human complement C3a receptor with anti-inflammatory activity

, 2020
Structure-activity relationships for a series of small-molecule thiophenes resulted in potent and selective antagonism of human Complement C3a receptor. The compounds are about 100-fold more potent than the most reported antagonist SB290157.

Pathological Signal‐Responsive Nanoplatforms for Sepsis: Integrating Biomarker Sensing With Spatiotemporal Drug Delivery and Immunomodulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biomarker‐triggered nanoplatforms transform sepsis therapy by coupling pathological sensing with precision drug release. This review reveals how microenvironment‐responsive nanomedicines enable stage‐specific intervention, improve therapeutic efficacy, and minimize systemic toxicity, while highlighting emerging opportunities for AI‐assisted and ...

AI‐Designed TREM1‐Targeted LYTAC Nanoparticles Reprogram the Neuroimmune Microenvironment in Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‐enabled de novo design of a TREM1 binder, integrated into a BBB‐crossing and macrophage‐targeted nanoplatform, enables TREM1 degradation and attenuates neuroinflammation, thereby promoting neuroprotection and tissue repair after traumatic brain injury. ABSTRACT Secondary neuroinflammation drives progressive damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI),

Tissue plasminogen activator mediates deleterious complement cascade activation in stroke. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in the treatment of ischemic stroke is limited by its propensity to exacerbate brain edema and hemorrhage. The mechanisms underlying these deleterious effects of tPA remain incompletely understood.

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

Circulating Exosomes Drive Persistent Neuronal Dysfunction in Post‐Herpetic Neuralgia Patients

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Proposed model of exosome‐mediated neuronal dysfunction in post‐herpetic neuralgia (PHN). (1) Circulating, non‐pathogenic exosomes maintain homeostatic processes in healthy skin, where sensory nerve fibers innervate the epidermis and dermis. (2) During acute zoster, reactivating varicella zoster virus (VZV) travels down neurites to the skin causing ...

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 as a Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarker for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Leptomeningeal Metastasis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective As leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) has a poor prognosis, reliable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diagnostic biomarkers are urgently needed. This study evaluated the diagnostic value of CSF growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in LM from lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and breast cancer (BC).
