Complement classical and alternative pathway activation contributes to diabetic kidney disease progression: a glomerular proteomics on kidney biopsies

Scientific Reports
Increasing evidence points toward an essential role for complement activation in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear, and the pathway predominantly contributing to complement ...

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Artificial Catch Bonds: From Molecular Design to Network Mechanics

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.
Catch bonds strengthen rather than weaken under force. This review follows the discovery and development of our understanding of this counterintuitive phenomenon, from the molecular mechanisms that produce it to the design rules for engineering it in DNA, proteins, and polymers, and on to the collective network mechanics enabling materials that stiffen

Mannose Binding Lectin in Nephrology

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019
The complement system is a mediator and marker of renal damage. There are three pathways of complement activation: classical, alternative and lectin pathway.

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Narsoplimab for severe transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy

Thrombosis Journal, 2023
Background Transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is an endothelial injury syndrome linked to the overactivation of complement pathways.

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Design of a complement mannose-binding lectin pathway-specific activation system applicable at low serum dilutions

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2006
Summary Recently we showed that alternative pathway (AP) amplification was responsible for more than 80% of specific classical pathway-induced terminal pathway activation under physiological conditions. The present study aimed to design a system for specific lectin pathway (LP) activation applicable at low serum dilutions with a fully

Origin of Mannose-Binding Lectin-Associated Serine Protease (MASP)-1 and MASP-3 Involved in the Lectin Complement Pathway Traced Back to the Invertebrate, Amphioxus [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2003
Abstract Mannose-binding lectin-associated serine proteases (MASPs) are involved in complement activation through the lectin pathway. To elucidate the phylogenetic origin of MASP and a primordial complement system, we cloned two MASP cDNAs from amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri) of the cephalochordates, considered to be the closest ...
