Urine Complement Proteins and the Risk of Kidney Disease Progression and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes. [PDF]

, 2018
ObjectiveWe examined the association of urine complement proteins with progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death in people with type 2 diabetes and proteinuric diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Research design and methodsUsing targeted mass ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Direct Switch From Iptacopan to Pegcetacoplan in a Patient With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

eJHaem
Introduction Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare clonal hematologic disorder treated with complement inhibitors. Currently, patients with suboptimal response to C5 inhibitors may be switched to proximal complement inhibitors, such as ...

CspA from Borrelia burgdorferi Inhibits the Terminal Complement Pathway

mBio, 2013
In order to survive and persist in an immunocompetent human host, Borrelia burgdorferi controls the human immune attack and blocks the damaging effects of the activated complement system.

Microangiopathy in multiple myeloma: a case of carfilzomib-induced secondary thrombotic microangiopathy successfully treated with plasma exchange and complement inhibition

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a potentially organ and life-threatening condition affecting patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Cases of proteasome inhibitor-induced TMA and specifically carfilzomib-induced TMA have been rarely reported ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Structure and function of a family of tick-derived complement inhibitors targeting properdin

Nature Communications, 2022
Properdin is the only known positive regulator of the human complement system, stabilising the convertase C3 in the alternative pathway of complement activation.
