Exosomal‐complement system activation in preeclampsia
Abstract Aim Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe pregnancy‐related disorder characterized by hypertension and multi‐organ failure, primarily affecting the maternal vasculature and placenta. The aim of this review is to explain the molecular mechanisms behind PE by investigating the relationship between exosome release and complement activation, which could ...

Multiple Infectious Complications in a Severely Injured Patient with Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Important Innate Immune Response Genes [PDF]
Trauma is a major public health problem worldwide. Infectious complications, sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remain important causes for morbidity and mortality in patients who survive the initial trauma.

Association of FCN2 polymorphisms and Ficolin-2 levels with dengue fever in Vietnamese patients
Background and objective: The human ficolin-2, encoded by FCN2, recognizes pathogen-associated acetylated residues on their cell surfaces and activates the lectin complement cascade. This study aimed to investigate the contribution of human ficolin-2 and

Abstract Objective Recent work has bolstered the possibility that peripheral changes may be relevant to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis in the brain. While age‐associated blood‐borne proteins have been targeted to restore function to the aged brain, it remains unclear whether other dysfunctional systemic states can be exploited for similar benefits ...

Platelet–Monocyte Aggregate Instigates Inflammation and Vasculopathy in Kawasaki Disease
The formation of monocyte–platelet aggregate (MPA) induces the phenotypic conversion of monocytes into proinflammatory monocytes via the platelet release of transforming growth factor (TGF)β1, resulting in inflammation (interleukin‐1β, tissue necrotic factor‐α) and vasculopathy in Kawasaki disease (KD). Blocking MPA formation or reducing platelet TGFβ1

This study demonstrates that over‐representation of ferroptosis, calcium, calcium ion binding, and cell adhesion signaling pathways in cerebrospinal fluid is associated with infantile post‐hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). Importantly, the expression level of CSPG4 is correlated with PHH progression; and CSPG4 silencing suppresses the dysregulation of ...

Role of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in tumor-associated pregnancy [PDF]
Cancer progression is dependent, in part, on interactions between tumor cells and the host microenvironment. During pregnancy, physiological changes occur that include inflammation and reduced immunity, both of which can promote tumor growth. Accordingly,

GALDIERO is CO-FIRST AUTHOR. Phagocytes as Corrupted Policemen in Cancer-Related Inflammation [PDF]
Inflammation is a key component of the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) are prototypic inflammatory cells in cancer-related inflammation.

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