Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language

The Role of Ficolins in Innate Immunity
Ficolins are a group of proteins containing both a collagen-like domain and a fibrinogen-like domain and are found in varying tissues. Ficolins present in sera have a lectin activity toward N-acetylglucosamine through their fibrinogen-like domains. The domain organizations between ficolins and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) are very similar in that both ...

Association of L-ficolin levels and FCN2 genotypes with chronic Chagas disease.
BackgroundL-ficolin (encoded by FCN2) binds to acetylated sugar moieties of many pathogens, including Trypanosoma cruzi, promoting their phagocytosis and lysis by the complement system.MethodsWe investigated L-ficolin levels in 160 T.

ABSTRACT Reliable biomarkers that enable noninvasive, longitudinal assessment of disease activity and therapeutic response remain a major unmet need in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While colonic biopsies are the gold standard for evaluating mucosal inflammation, their invasive nature and limited spatial and temporal resolution constrain their ...

Graphical abstract illustrating the barrier defense–tolerance framework of reproductive innate immunity. Across the female and male reproductive tracts and the maternal–fetal interface, epithelial barriers, innate sensors, immune cells, and microbial signals are integrated to preserve reproductive homeostasis.

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