Podocyte-specific knockout of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) results in differential protection depending on the model of glomerulonephritis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Podocytes have been proposed to be antigen presenting cells (APCs). In traditional APCs, the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is required for antigen presentation and global knockout of FcRn protects against glomerulonephritis.

Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we

Adverse immunostimulation in early phase clinical trials: Key findings and recommendations based on the investigator's clinical experience

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem setting The emergence of therapeutic proteins has coincided with an increase of acute adverse immunostimulation (AIS). AIS has occured in clinical trials despite compliance with regulatory guidelines on preclinical evaluation and its incidence is anticipated to increase even further.

Pharmacokinetic modelling of intravenous immunoglobulin in children with primary immunodeficiencies and secondary antibody deficiencies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Children with primary immunodeficiency (PID) and secondary antibody deficiency (SAD) often require immunoglobulin replacement therapy due to low plasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels and recurrent infections. Existing pharmacokinetic models for immunoglobulin in PID patients predominantly focus on adults, with limited attention to ...

Advancing design strategies in smart stimulus‐responsive liposomes for drug release and nanomedicine

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of stimulus‐responsive liposomes designed for controlled drug release and nanomedicine. The innermost circle represents different liposomal structures, including unilamellar, multilamellar, and multivesicular liposomes. The middle layer illustrates the responsive phospholipid components.

Count-ception: Counting by Fully Convolutional Redundant Counting

, 2017
Counting objects in digital images is a process that should be replaced by machines. This tedious task is time consuming and prone to errors due to fatigue of human annotators. The goal is to have a system that takes as input an image and returns a count

Expression of neonatal Fc receptor in the eye [PDF]

, 2014
PURPOSE: The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) plays a critical role in the homeostasis and degradation of immunoglobulin G (IgG). It mediates the transport of IgG across epithelial cell barriers and recycles IgG in endothelial cells back into the bloodstream.

Detection of the GH Analogue Redalsomatropin Alfa in Sports Drug Testing: Immunological Approaches and LC‐HRMS/MS

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
After evaluating the compatibility of the GH analogue redalsomatropin alfa with approved doping control immunoassays for rhGH, it was implemented into the existing detection method for somatrogon employing affinity purification with GHR‐Fc‐conjugated magnetic beads, tryptic digestion, and LC‐HRMS/MS to allow for a specific and sensitive detection ...
