Complement in the homeostatic and ischemic brain [PDF]

, 2015
The complement system is a component of the immune system involved in both recognition and response to pathogens, and it is implicated in an increasing number of homeostatic and disease processes. It is well documented that reperfusion of ischemic tissue

Production and Functional Verification of 8‐Gene (GGTA1, CMAH, β4GalNT2, hCD46, hCD55, hCD59, hTBM, hCD39)‐Edited Donor Pigs for Xenotransplantation

Cell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 9, September 2025.
Schematic representation of generation of 8‐gene‐edited cloned pigs and their verification by pig to non‐human primate kidney xenotransplantation. ABSTRACT Gene‐edited (GE) pig‐to‐human xenotransplantation continues to make breakthroughs, but which kind of gene combination is suitable for organ‐specific transplantation remains unclear.

Alternative Pathway Is Essential for Glomerular Complement Activation and Proteinuria in a Mouse Model of Membranous Nephropathy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Membranous nephropathy is an immune kidney disease caused by IgG antibodies that form glomerular subepithelial immune complexes. Proteinuria is mediated by complement activation, as a result of podocyte injury by C5b-9, but the role of specific ...

Final value problems for parabolic differential equations and their well-posedness [PDF]

, 2018
This article concerns the basic understanding of parabolic final value problems, and a large class of such problems is proved to be well posed. The clarification is obtained via explicit Hilbert spaces that characterise the possible data, giving ...

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 ...

Complement activation products in the circulation and urine of primary membranous nephropathy

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background Complement activation plays a substantial role in the pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). C5b-9, C3c, MBL, and factor B have been documented in the subepithelial immune deposits. However, the changing of complement activation

Platelets are activated in ANCA-associated vasculitis via thrombin-PARs pathway and can activate the alternative complement pathway

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2017
Background In this study, we investigated the mechanism of platelet activation in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), as well as the activation of the alternative complement pathway by platelets in AAV ...
