Dengue virus infection induces complement factor H but protein remains cell-associated, with changes intracellularly and in cell surface binding

open access: yesExploration of Immunology
Aim: Severe dengue is correlated with a decrease in the circulating complement regulator, factor H (FH) and prior work has shown that dengue virus (DENV) infection induces FH mRNA but not FH protein release.

Complement factors (H) into thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 2017
In this issue of Blood, Ueda et al demonstrate that a mutation in factor H (FH) disrupts host cell interactions, leading to dysregulation of complement, systemic thrombotic angiopathy, and hemolytic uremic syndrome ...

Human complement factor H. Two factor H proteins are derived from alternatively spliced transcripts [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The human complement factor H is an important component in the control of the alternative pathway of complement activation. We have previously shown that at least three factor H homologous mRNA species of 4.3 kb, 1.8 kb and 1.4 kb in length are ...

Amnion epithelial cells are an effective source of factor H and prevent kidney complement deposition in factor H-deficient mice

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Complement factor H (FH) is the main plasma regulator of the alternative pathway of complement. Genetic and acquired abnormalities in FH cause uncontrolled complement activation amplifying, with the consequent accumulation of complement components on the

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

Safety and Effectiveness of a High‐Dose, Tailored Tissue Plasminogen Activator Therapy Protocol: A Joint Pediatric Hematology and Cardiac ICU Quality Improvement Initiative Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric thromboembolism is increasingly encountered in critical care. Systemic thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) facilitates vessel or valve patency, yet pediatric‐specific protocols remain undefined, and safety concerns persist. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a tailored, prolonged systemic tPA
