Collectin-11/MASP complex formation triggers activation of the lectin complement pathway--the fifth lectin pathway initiation complex

open access: yes, 2013
Collectins and ficolins are important in the clearance of endogenous and exogenous danger materials. A new human collectin-11 was recently identified in low concentration in serum in complex with mannose-binding lectin (MBL)/ficolin-associated serine ...

Ultra‐High Frequency Ultrasound Imaging and Quantification of Microvascular Flow in Xenograft Renal Cell Carcinoma in an Avian Chorioallantoic Membrane Model

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) tumor models initiated in avian chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) are under investigation to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic options with the objective of personalizing treatments. CAM PDXs paired with ultra‐high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) imaging could potentially constitute prospective high throughput assays ...

Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Obesity: Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, Risk Stratification, and Therapeutic Approach

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...

FOXC1: A Key Transcription Factor of VSMC‐Derived Foam Cell Formation in Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The instability of atherosclerotic plaques, particularly intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), drives life‐threatening cardiovascular events, a process in which vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)‐derived foam cells play a significant role. We aim to identify key biomarkers associated with VSMC‐derived foam cells and IPH by analyzing data from human ...

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐enclosed structures secreted by virtually all living cells, serving as essential mediators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. There is growing interest in their potential applications as biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery systems, which ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential
