IgG Glycosylation‐Dependent CLEC7A Signaling Drives Podocyte Dysfunction in Lupus Nephritis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end‐stage kidney disease and increased mortality. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) from LN patients displays abnormal glycosylation, contributing to podocyte injury.

The Mannose-Binding Lectin: An Infection Susceptibility Gene [PDF]
, 2005 A critical but unanswered question is what defines each individual’s pre-morbid susceptibility to infection? w e propose that individuals must have an “immune haplotype” that shapes their response to infectious agents. Infection is a balance between the intrinsic virulence of the infectious agent and the host defenses.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Racehorses undergo profound physiological changes with training and competition, but current biomarkers inadequately capture the complex molecular dynamics of exercise. This study aimed to identify novel plasma biomarkers of training adaptation and peak load using high‐throughput proteomics.

Mannose‐Binding Lectin Polymorphisms in Clinical Tuberculosis [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003 Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) mediates protection against infections by using the complement system, but certain microorganisms may increase infectivity by exploiting this host defense system. Thus, it has been speculated whether genetically determined low MBL levels may confer partial protection against certain intracellular microorganisms, such as ...

The role of human microbiota in breast cancer pathogenesis and treatment
iMeta, EarlyView.The human microbiota contributes to breast cancer pathogenesis and treatment response through interactions involving the oral, gut, and breast microbial niches. (Left) Multi‐site dysbiosis is characterized by altered microbial composition and abundance across different anatomical sites.

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular
