Main Points Hyposialylation in Gne+/‐ mice induced loss of retinal rod bipolar cells. Hyposialylation triggered complement, inflammation and apoptosis transcriptome pathways in the retina. Crossing Gne+/‐ with C3‐deficient mice prevented the retinal changes.

Abstract Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a severe autoimmune bullous dermatosis that is characterized by autoantibodies against epidermal adhesion proteins causing painful mucosal and skin blistering. Standard treatments for PV include corticosteroids, steroid‐sparing immunosuppressants, or intravenous monoclonal anti–CD20‐antibody therapy.

Biotic and abiotic factors of bactericidal properties variability of ruminant saliva
The microflora of the oral cavity of domestic ruminants, presented by transitive gram-negative species of bacteria (cocci and sticks) in cows, transient and obligate gram-positive (usually cocci) bacteria in sheep was studied. The lowest contamination of

The complement system: A key player in the host response to infections
Duality of the complement system during infection: An adequate immune defense clears the infection and restores tissue resilience, whereas a maladaptive response due to complement hyperactivation results in hyperinflammation and tissue injury, as seen in sepsis and pneumonia.

Understanding the alterations in complement and coagulation systems could aid in the creation of novel therapeutic approaches to tackle the dysfunction of complement and coagulation in diseases. The unacceptably high mortality rate of sepsis has prompted further research into the molecular pathogenesis of sepsis and therapeutic interventions.
