A new player in the game: platelet-derived extracellular vesicles in dengue hemorrhagic fever
Platelets, 2020 Thrombocytopenia and vascular leakage are clinical hallmarks in dengue hemorrhagic fever. Sung et al. present a new mechanism where platelet-derived extracellular vesicles participate in increasing vascular permeability during dengue virus infection in ...

Taxonomic Distribution and Molecular Evolution of Mytilectins
Marine Drugs, 2023 R-type lectins are a widespread group of sugar-binding proteins found in nearly all domains of life, characterized by the presence of a carbohydrate-binding domain that adopts a β-trefoil fold.

Tetranectin, a trimeric plasminogen‐binding C‐type lectin [PDF]
Protein Science, 1997 AbstractTetranectin, a plasminogen‐binding protein belonging to the family of C‐type lectins, was expressed in E. coli and converted to its native form by in vitro refolding and proteolytic processing. Recombinant tetranectin—as well as natural tetranectin from human plasma—was shown by chemical cross‐linking analysis and SDS‐PAGE to be a homo‐trimer ...

Syk-coupled C-type lectins in immunity
Trends in Immunology, 2011 The Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 was the first non-Toll like receptor described that could mediate its own intracellular signalling. It was initially identified as important for the innate recognition of and response to fungal pathogens but later studies revealed that it is also involved in triggering adaptive immune responses.

Targeting C-Type Lectin Receptors for Cancer Immunity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a large family of soluble and trans-membrane pattern recognition receptors that are widely and primarily expressed on myeloid cells. CLRs are important for cell-cell communication and host defense against pathogens through the recognition of specific carbohydrate structures. Similar to a family of Toll-like receptors,

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Replicating aging and senescence‐related pathophysiological responses in kidney organoids remains a significant challenge. Human adult renal tubular organoid, tubuloids, are successfully developed recapitulating cellular senescence that is the central pathophysiological mechanism of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
