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

Rapid Proteome‐Wide Discovery of Protein–Protein Interactions With ppIRIS
ppIRIS is a lightweight deep learning framework for proteome‐wide protein–protein interaction prediction directly from sequence. By fusing evolutionary and structural embeddings with a regularized Siamese architecture, ppIRIS achieves state‐of‐the‐art accuracy across species, enables minute‐scale screening, and reveals biologically validated bacterial ...

Targeting Tumor Stroma: Current Challenges and Future Directions
Figure 1. Mechanism of ECM reprogramming. Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), cancer‐associated macrophages (CAMs), and other mesenchymal cells alter the ECM composition and increase its stiffness by depositing matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, and secreting cross‐linking agents like lysyl oxidase homolog 2 (LOXL2).

Inactivation of the complement anaphylatoxin C5a by secreted products of parasitic nematodes
Given the importance of the complement anaphylatoxins in cellular recruitment during infection, the ability of secreted products from larval stages of Brugia malayi and Trichinella spiralis to influence C5a-mediated chemotaxis of human peripheral blood granulocytes in vitro was examined. Secreted products from B.

Beyond feasibility filters: How expertise heterogeneity enables innovation recognition
Abstract Research Summary Organizations often struggle to identify promising innovations that balance novelty and feasibility in multidisciplinary domains, yet how does evaluator expertise heterogeneity shape these assessments? This study examines how evaluator expertise influences innovation evaluation through a field experiment with National ...

Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma
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 ...
