Abstract Background Activation of complement protein C3 generally enhances antibody responses and C3‐null mice have decreased antibody‐based immunity. Mener et al. have reported a paradoxical suppressor function for C3 in alloimmunization to transfused RBCs as alloantibodies are increased in C3‐null mice.

Loxoscelism can cause local as well as systemic manifestations. Hematologic complications of brown recluse spider venom can be life‐threatening. Here, we present two cases of loxoscelism‐mediated hemolysis that highlight the variable clinical presentations and treatment options available based on severity and pathophysiology of hemolysis.

Background Within 1 month of diagnosis, 40% of patients with positive blood cultures will develop CNS complications. Rare pathogens, that is, Paeniclostridium sordellii, pose diagnostic challenges due to atypical presentations and detection difficulties. Case Presentation A 67‐year‐old man presented with metabolic encephalopathy and diabetes insipidus.

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Invasion by P. falciparum Merozoites Suggests a Hierarchy of Molecular Interactions [PDF]
Central to the pathology of malaria disease are the repeated cycles of parasite invasion and destruction of human erythrocytes. In Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent species causing malaria, erythrocyte invasion involves several specific receptor ...

MMS22L is a novel key actor of normal and pathological erythropoiesis
Abstract The emergence of next‐generation sequencing techniques has led to the genetic characterization of numerous congenital erythroid disorders, emphasizing crucial pathways in both normal and pathological erythropoiesis. In this study, whole exome sequencing of a single patient with atypical congenital pure red cell aplasia revealed a mutation in ...

Eryptotic Phenotype in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Contribution of Neutrophilic Cathepsin G [PDF]
In pathological conditions with concurrent neutrophilia, modifications of erythrocyte membrane proteins are reported. In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative disease wherein neutrophilia is accompanied by enhanced erythrophagocytosis, we ...

Human glycophorin A, B, and E genes are homologous from the 5'-flanking region to 1 kilobase downstream from the exon encoding the transmembrane region. Analysis of human Alu sequences at the transition site from the homologous to nonhomologous region suggested that the GPA gene most closely resembles the ancestral gene, whereas GPB and GPE genes arose

Deoxynivalenol induces anemia by disrupting hematopoietic homeostasis and impairing erythroid lineage commitment and differentiation via ribosomal stress–mediated G1/S cell cycle arrest. GDF15 supplementation alleviates this arrest through the β‐catenin–Myc–p21 signaling axis, highlighting GDF15 as a potential therapeutic target for DON‐induced ...
