Modulation of C5a–C5aR1 signaling alters the dynamics of AD progression
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022 Background The complement system is part of the innate immune system that clears pathogens and cellular debris. In the healthy brain, complement influences neurodevelopment and neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, clearance of neuronal blebs, recruitment of ...

Microvesicles in disease [PDF]
, 2014 On activation cells shed vesicles from their surface by the process of ectocytosis. These micro-vesicles or Ectosomes express phosphatidyl-serine (PS) on their surface, which can elicit a range of biological effects from immune-suppression to the ...

Deletion of the complement C5a receptor alleviates the severity of acute pneumococcal otitis media following influenza A virus infection in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There is considerable evidence that influenza A virus (IAV) promotes adherence, colonization, and superinfection by S. pneumoniae (Spn) and contributes to the pathogenesis of otitis media (OM).

Leukocyte sequestration in pulmonary microvessels and lung injury following systemic complement activation in rabbits [PDF]
, 1999 Inflammatory reactions are associated with sequestration of leukocytes in the lung. Complement activation leads to accumulation of leukocytes in alveolar septa and alveoli, to lung edema and hemorrhage.

Assembly of Bioactive Superstructures via Metal–Phenolic Complexation for Blood Purification
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Bioactive superstructures are assembled via metal–phenolic‐mediated assembly on agarose templates, followed by modification with human serum albumin. These superstructures demonstrate high bilirubin adsorption efficiency, strong antibacterial activity, and anticoagulant activity, providing a strategy for the rational design of multifunctional blood ...
