ABSTRACT Top‐down proteomics (TDP) characterizes proteoforms in cells, tissues, and biofluids, in discovery mode and on a global scale, requiring analytical tools with high peak capacity for proteoform separation and high sensitivity for proteoform detection, given the extremely high proteoform complexity and wide proteoform concentration dynamic range.

ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with disseminated thymoma is often refractory to conventional treatments due to continuous autoantibody production. The optimal treatment strategy, particularly the combination of complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, and surgical resection in thymoma‐associated ...

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn): Guardian or Trojan Horse in viral infection?
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), well-known for mediating the transfer of maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) to neonates, plays a critical role in neonatal antimicrobial defenses.

ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Structure of the human astrovirus capsid spike in complex with the neonatal Fc receptor
Human astroviruses (HAstVs) are a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in children worldwide. Recently the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) was identified as a receptor for HAstV, however the molecular basis for the FcRn-HAstV interaction remained unclear ...

Impact of mAb-FcRn affinity on IgG transcytosis across human well-differentiated airway epithelium
Effective treatment and immunoprophylaxis of viral respiratory infections with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) require maintaining inhibitory concentrations of mAbs at the airway surface.

Enterovirus infections in children
Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens causing a wide spectrum of diseases in children worldwide. This review summarizes the epidemiology, virology, viral replication, and virus‐host interactions of EVs. It also highlights current advances in clinical diagnosis, antiviral therapies, and vaccine development, providing insights into future strategies ...

Differential effects of FcRn antagonists on the subcellular trafficking of FcRn and albumin
The homeostasis of IgG is maintained by the neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn. Consequently, antagonism of FcRn to reduce endogenous IgG levels is an emerging strategy for treating antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders using either FcRn-specific antibodies or ...
