The Complement System in ANCA‐Associated Vasculitis: Mechanistic Insights, Therapeutic Horizons, and Unmet Clinical Needs

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Complement activation, particularly via the alternative pathway, drives inflammation and organ damage in ANCA‐associated vasculitis. This review highlights mechanistic insights, tissue and biomarker evidence, and clinical implications of targeting the C5a–C5aR1 axis.

Ficolins do not alter host immune responses to lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in vivo

Scientific Reports, 2017
Ficolins are a family of pattern recognition molecules that are capable of activating the lectin pathway of complement. A limited number of reports have demonstrated a protective role of ficolins in animal models of infection.

Sinapine Modulates Glycogen and Lipid Synthesis via IRS1–PI3K–AKT–GSK3β–GS Pathway in Insulin‐Resistant Models

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study combined network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro (HepG2) and in vivo (T2DM mice) experiments to investigate sinapine's effect on insulin resistance. Sinapine was found to modulate the IRS1–PI3K–AKT–GSK3β–GS pathway. In vitro, sinapine improved glucose uptake, enhanced glycogen synthesis, and reduced lipogenesis and ROS. In vivo,

Identification of a Ficolin-like Serum Lectin of the Common Carp as a Novel Homologue of Mammalian Microfibrillar-Associated Protein 4

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Serum lectins in vertebrates play crucial roles in innate immunity as recognition molecules for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In mammals, two major lectins, mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin, both containing N-terminal collagen ...

Specific binding of L-ficolin and H-ficolin to apoptotic cells leads to complement activation

Immunobiology, 2005
The serum lectins mannose-binding lectin (MBL), L-ficolin, and H-ficolin are recognition molecules in the lectin complement pathway, which play an important role in innate immunity. To assess involvement of the lectin pathway in the clearance of apoptotic cells, we used flow cytometry to quantify binding of MBL, L-ficolin, and H-ficolin to apoptotic ...

Using Interleukin 6 and 8 in Blood and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid to Predict Survival in Hematological Malignancy Patients With Suspected Pulmonary Mold Infection. [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Molds and other pathogens induce elevated levels of several cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of IL-6 and IL-8 as well as fungal biomarkers in blood and ...
