Tolerability and Feasibility of Minimally Invasive Canine Skin Sampling: Excellent Tolerability Meets Transcriptomic Challenges

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 375-385, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Advances in transcriptomics have driven the demand for minimally invasive, reproducible and high‐yield skin sampling methods, particularly for studying inflammatory skin diseases in companion animals. Hypothesis/Objectives We tested tolerability, feasibility and RNA quantity and quality of three minimally invasive skin sampling ...

The Molecular Basis of Complete Complement C4A and C4B Deficiencies in a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patient with Homozygous C4A and C4B Mutant Genes [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2002
Abstract The disease course of a complete C4-deficient patient in the U.S. was followed for 18 years. The patient experienced multiple episodes of infection, and he was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus at age 9 years. The disease progressed to WHO class III mild lupus nephritis and to fatal CNS vasculitis at age 23 years ...

Structure and Mechanism of PhdC, a Prenylated‐Flavin Maturase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1019-1029, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) is a modified flavin cofactor required by the UbiD family of (de)carboxylase enzymes. While the reduced prFMNH2 form is produced by the flavin prenyltransferase UbiX, the corresponding two‐electron oxidized prFMNiminium form is required to support UbiD catalysis. Thus, oxidative maturation of prFMNH2 is

Plasma complement biomarkers distinguish multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoimmune demyelinating diseases distinguished clinically by selective involvement in NMOSD of optic nerves and spinal cord. Early clinical manifestations are

Mannan-binding lectin and complement C4A in Icelandic multicase families with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2006
To determine whether low mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and C4A null alleles (C4AQ0) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in multicase families with SLE.Low MBL level was determined by measuring serum levels and by genotyping for mutant structural (B/C/D, designated as 0) and promoter (LX) alleles (by real-time polymerase chain reaction).

Decellularized Aged Bruch's Membrane Confers Unique Biochemical Cues to Retinal Pigment Epithelium for In Vitro Modeling of Age‐Related Macular Degeneration

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
A Bruchs membrane (BrM) mimic based on aged decellularized BrM was developed and differentially expressed proteins in aged dECM‐BrM that may provide specific biochemical cues fundamental to model AMD in vitro were identified. RPE culture on aged dECM‐BrM developed certain AMD‐like features including reduced TEER and expression of drusen components ...

Carriership of a defective tenascin-X gene in steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency patients: TNXB -TNXA hybrids in apparent large-scale gene conversions [PDF]

, 2002
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by a defect in the CYP21A2 gene. CYP21A2, the adjacent complement C4 gene and parts of the flanking genes RP1 and TNXB constitute a tandemly duplicated arrangement in the central (class III ...

Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 1571-1586, May 2026.
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 ...

Natural antibodies and CRP drive anaphylatoxin production by urate crystals

Scientific Reports, 2022
In gout, crystallization of uric acid in the form of monosodium urate (MSU) leads to a painful inflammatory response. MSU crystals induce inflammation by activating the complement system and various immune cell types, and by inducing necrotic cell death.
