Alterations in the complement cascade in post-traumatic stress disorder [PDF]
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2010 Background In the present study we assessed the functional state of the major mediator of the immune response, the complement system, in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Complement Factor D as a Strategic Target for Regulating the Alternative Complement Pathway
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The complement system is central to first-line defense against invading pathogens. However, excessive complement activation and/or the loss of complement regulation contributes to the development of autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammation, and ...

Complement factor D is linked to platelet activation in human and rodent sepsis
Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2021 Background The complement factor D (CFD) exerts a regulatory role during infection. However, its physiological function in coagulopathy and its impact on the course of an infection remains unclear. Materials Wild-type and CFD-deficient mice (n = 91) were

Dengue virus and the complement alternative pathway [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2020 Dengue disease is an inflammatory‐driven pathology, and complement overactivation is linked to disease severity and vascular leakage. Additionally, dysregulation of complement alternative pathway (AP) components has been described, such as upregulation of complement factor D and downregulation of complement factor H (FH), which activate and inhibit the

The intersection of complemented submodules is not complemented [PDF]
J. Math. Anal. Appl. 522 (1) (2023) 127002, 2023 We show by (counter)example that the intersection of complemented submodules in a Hilbert $C^*$-module is not necessarily complemented, answering an open question from [MR].

The Complement System and ANCA Associated Vasculitis in the Era of Anti-Complement Drugs
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is the condition in which ANCA, as an autoantibody, is associated with the pathogenesis of vasculitis in small blood vessels, mainly in the ear, nose, throat, kidney, lung, and ...
