Complement-coagulation cross-talk: a potential mediator of the physiological activation of complement by low pH

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
The complement system is a major constituent of the innate immune system. It not only bridges innate and adaptive arms of the immune system but also links the immune system with the coagulation system.

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

The lectin pathway of complement activation

open access: yes, 2007
The complement system is an important immune system mechanism involved in both the recognition and elimination of invading pathogens. It is activated by three different pathways: The classical pathway, which relies on binding of C1, and results in the cleavage of C4 and C2 through activation of C1r and C1s; the alternative pathway that relies on the ...

Precision Chemistry for Protein Lysine Modification

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Selective modification of lysine residues is challenging due to their similar intrinsic reactivity. Inspired by enzymatic recognition, ligand‐guided electrophiles enable site‐selective labeling and functionalization, while ligand‐guided catalyses achieve regioselective installation of bio‐relevant post‐translational modifications.

Ratiometric pH‐Responsive and Biomimetic Microparticles for Quantitative Monitoring of Phagosomal Acidification

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A series of hydrosoluble BODIPY pH probes allows building biomimetic pH sensors based on micrometric oil‐in‐water droplets. The ratiometric fluorescence output offers quantitative information on the evolution of pH during phagosome maturation. ABSTRACT We present a modular biomimetic fluorescent sensing platform designed to precisely interrogate the ...

The Human Platelet as an Innate Immune Cell: Interactions Between Activated Platelets and the Complement System

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Platelets play an essential role in maintaining homeostasis in the circulatory system after an injury by forming a platelet thrombus, but they also occupy a central node in the intravascular innate immune system.
