On the Modulation Equations and Stability of Periodic GKdV Waves via Bloch Decompositions [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper, we complement recent results of Bronski and Johnson and of Johnson and Zumbrun concerning the modulational stability of spatially periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. In this previous work it was

Genetic bases of C7 deficiency: systematic review and report of a novel deletion determining functional hemizygosity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Primary complement system (C) deficiencies are rare but notably associated with an increased risk of infections, autoimmunity, or immune disorders.

Schur complement based preconditioners for twofold and block tridiagonal saddle point problems [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In this paper, we consider using Schur complements to design preconditioners for twofold and block tridiagonal saddle point problems. One type of the preconditioners are based on the nested (or recursive) Schur complement, the other is based on an additive type Schur complement after permuting the original saddle point systems.

Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b [PDF]

, 2012
Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described.

Pitfalls in complement analysis: A systematic literature review of assessing complement activation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundThe complement system is an essential component of our innate defense and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Assessment of complement activation is critical in monitoring both disease progression and response to therapy ...

The interaction between the complement system and hemostatic factors.

Current opinion in hematology, 2020
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss the crosstalk between the complement system and hemostatic factors (coagulation cascade, platelet, endothelium, and Von Willebrand Factor), and the consequences of this interaction under physiologic and pathologic conditions.

Preferential association of hepatitis C virus with CD19+ B cells is mediated by complement system [PDF]

, 2016
Extrahepatic disease manifestations are common in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The mechanism of HCV-related lymphoproliferative disorders is not fully understood.

Dysregulation of Complement Activation and Placental Dysfunction: A Potential Target to Treat Preeclampsia?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide, affecting 2–8% of all pregnancies. Studies suggest a link between complement activation and preeclampsia.

Alpha-synuclein activates the classical complement pathway and mediates complement-dependent cell toxicity

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Background Synucleinopathies are characterized by neurodegeneration and deposition of the presynaptic protein α-synuclein in pathological protein inclusions.

Interaction Between the Complement System and Infectious Agents – A Potential Mechanistic Link to Neurodegeneration and Dementia

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
As part of the innate immune system, complement plays a critical role in the elimination of pathogens and mobilization of cellular immune responses. In the central nervous system (CNS), many complement proteins are locally produced and regulate nervous ...
