The Role of Mannose-Binding Lectin in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Mediators of Inflammation, 2013 Severe sepsis and septic shock are a primary cause of death in patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Investigations upon genetic susceptibility profile to systemic complications during severe infections are a field of increasing scientific interest ...

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.

Mass Spectrometry Insights Into Post‐Translational Modifications in Extracellular Vesicles
Mass 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 ...

Mannose Binding Lectin in Nephrology
Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019 The complement system is a mediator and marker of renal damage. There are three pathways of complement activation: classical, alternative and lectin pathway.

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

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 ...

Small, EarlyView.Cancer nanovaccines have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional cancer vaccines, which have shown limited clinical efficacy. In particular, cell membrane nanoparticle‐based nanovaccines can offer high biocompatibility and immunogenicity while preserving tumor antigens, including antigen repertoires.

Dendritic Cell α‐Ketoglutarate Regulates Tfh Polarization in Allergy
Allergy, EarlyView.Allergen induces a dendritic cell metabolism shift toward glutaminolysis with α‐ketoglutarate as a regulator of Tfh subset polarization. Glutaminolysis is required for DC allergen uptake, co‐stimulatory molecule expression, and CLR expression. Modulation of glutaminolysis, JmjD3 histone demethylation, or HIF‐1α degradation alters Tfh polarization and ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Ischaemic stroke is characterised by acute cerebrovascular occlusion and blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Our results indicated that the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) ameliorated the loss of BBB integrity, changed the morphology of brain endothelial cells, increased the level of basement membrane and ...
