Facilitation of penicillin haptenation to serum proteins. [PDF]
Traditionally, penicillin binding to serum proteins was believed to be a passive chemical process; however, it appears to be facilitated by serum factors.

Factor H‐related protein 1: a complement regulatory protein and guardian of necrotic‐type surfaces [PDF]
Factor H‐related protein 1 (FHR‐1) is a member of the factor H protein family, which is involved in regulating innate immune complement reactions. Genetic modification of the encoding gene, CFHR1 on human chromosome 1, is involved in diseases such as age‐related macular degeneration, C3 glomerulopathy and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome ...

A Proteomic Study of Memory After Imprinting in the Domestic Chick. [PDF]
The intermediate and medial mesopallium (IMM) of the domestic chick forebrain has previously been shown to be a memory system for visual imprinting. Learning-related changes occur in certain plasma membrane and mitochondrial proteins in the IMM.

Complement factor H–related hybrid protein deregulates complement in dense deposit disease [PDF]
The renal disorder C3 glomerulopathy with dense deposit disease (C3G-DDD) pattern results from complement dysfunction and primarily affects children and young adults. There is no effective treatment, and patients often progress to end-stage renal failure.

Parkinson's disease plasma biomarkers: An automated literature analysis followed by experimental validation [PDF]
Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently assessed by the clinical evaluation of extrapyramidal signs. The identification of specific biomarkers would be advisable, however most studies stop at the discovery phase, with no biomarkers reaching ...

Factor H-related protein 1 (FHR-1) is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [PDF]
AbstractAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) is a lipid-driven inflammatory disease and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Lipid deposits in the arterial wall lead to the formation of plaques that involve lipid oxidation, cellular necrosis, and complement activation, resulting in inflammation and thrombosis.

Dexmedetomidine post-treatment attenuates cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting apoptosis through HIF-1α signalling. [PDF]
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) plays a critical role in the apoptotic process during cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study aimed to investigate whether post-treatment with dexmedetomidine (DEX) could protect against I/R-induced ...

Factor H–Related Protein 1 Drives Disease Susceptibility and Prognosis in C3 Glomerulopathy
Significance Statement Mutations in factor H–related protein 1 (FHR-1) that result in duplication of its dimerization domain associate with the chronic renal disease C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), which is characterized by complement dysregulation. The molecular basis for this association is only partially understood.

Deregulation of Factor H by Factor H-Related Protein 1 Depends on Sialylation of Host Surfaces [PDF]
To discriminate between self and non-self surfaces and facilitate immune surveillance, the complement system relies on the interplay between surface-directed activators and regulators. The dimeric modulator FHR-1 is hypothesized to competitively remove the complement regulator FH from surfaces that strongly fix opsonic C3b molecules—a process known as “
