Identification of a Ficolin-like Serum Lectin of the Common Carp as a Novel Homologue of Mammalian Microfibrillar-Associated Protein 4

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Serum lectins in vertebrates play crucial roles in innate immunity as recognition molecules for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In mammals, two major lectins, mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin, both containing N-terminal collagen ...

Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1335-1341, March 2026.
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

Complement Hyperactivation Is Mediated by Alternative and Lectin Pathways During Early Phase of Severe Vaccination‐Omicron BA.5 Infection

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Complement temporal activation kinetics, activation pathways, and their relationship with thromboinflammation and antibody responses in severe vaccination‐COVID‐19 remains unclear. Based on a vaccinated‐infected cohort, we analyzed complement immune responses across mild to critical COVID‐19 cases by a dynamic model.

Advances in Engineered Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Atherosclerosis and Atherothrombosis – Next‐Generation Cardiovascular Nanomedicine

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Exosomes (small extracellular vesicles) are nanosized vesicles produced naturally by living cells. They can be engineered by various techniques to deliver biologically active molecules to injury sites in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. Therefore, an exosome‐based multifunctional nanomedicine for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of these ...

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...
