Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes.

Involvement of the complement system in immune thrombocytopenia: review of the literature

open access: yesImmunological Medicine, 2023
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a thrombocytopenic condition induced by autoimmune mechanisms and includes secondary ITP with underlying diseases such as connective tissue diseases (CTD).

Biomarker-Drug and Liquid Biopsy Co-development for Disease Staging and Targeted Therapy: Cornerstones for Alzheimer's Precision Medicine and Pharmacology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Systems biology studies have demonstrated that different (epi)genetic and pathophysiological alterations may be mapped onto a single tumor's clinical phenotype thereby revealing commonalities shared by cancers with divergent phenotypes.

Complement regulatory proteins in glomerular diseases [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 1998
Complement activation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many forms of glomerulonephritis. Complement activation leads to tissue injury through various mechanisms including the generation of chemotactic factors and activation of the resident glomerular cells following C5b-9 insertion.

On the three-finger protein domain fold and CD59-like proteins in Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
It is believed that schistosomes evade complement-mediated killing by expressing regulatory proteins on their surface. Recently, six homologues of human CD59, an important inhibitor of the complement system membrane attack complex, were identified in the

Molecular Mechanisms Used by Salmonella to Evade the Immune System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human and animal pathogens are able to circumvent, at least temporarily, the sophisticated immune defenses of their hosts. Several serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica have been used as models for the study of pathogen-host ...

Coding limits on the number of transcription factors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Transcription factor proteins bind specific DNA sequences to control the expression of genes. They contain DNA binding domains which belong to several super-families, each with a specific mechanism of DNA binding.

Hypoxia-induced complement dysregulation is associated with microvascular impairments in mouse tracheal transplants

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Background Complement Regulatory Proteins (CRPs), especially CD55 primarily negate complement factor 3-mediated injuries and maintain tissue homeostasis during complement cascade activation.

Heme Interferes With Complement Factor I-Dependent Regulation by Enhancing Alternative Pathway Activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Hemolysis, as a result of disease or exposure to biomaterials, is characterized by excess amounts of cell-free heme intravascularly and consumption of the protective heme-scavenger proteins in plasma.
