Novel C1q receptor-mediated signaling controls neural stem cell behavior and neurorepair
C1q plays a key role as a recognition molecule in the immune system, driving autocatalytic complement cascade activation and acting as an opsonin. We have previously reported a non-immune role of complement C1q modulating the migration and fate of human ...

AI‐Driven Rational Design of Nanotherapeutics for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a formidable malignancy characterized by late diagnosis, high recurrence rates, and pronounced chemoresistance. While nanoparticle‐based drug delivery systems (NDDS) offer theoretical advantages over conventional therapies, their clinical translation in PDAC has been severely limited.

CD93—An emerging vascular target in cancer therapy
Abstract CD93 is a single‐pass transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the C‐type lectin domain group XIV family of proteins. Although it is known to be expressed in other cell types, namely, in some subsets of immune cells, CD93 is primarily expressed on endothelial cells, where it acts as a crucial regulator of angiogenesis.

An ELISA-based method for Galleria mellonella apolipophorin-III quantification [PDF]
Mammalian models, such as murine, are used widely in pathophysiological studies because they have a high degree of similarity in body temperature, metabolism, and immune response with humans.

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Purification and characterisation of a humoral opsonin, with specificity for D-galactose, in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
A humoral agglutinin from the hemolysate of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri was purified by affinity chromatography. This agglutinin does not require metal cations for its activity and is specific for derivatives of D-galactose.
