The loss of glycocalyx integrity impairs complement factor H binding and contributes to cyclosporine-induced endothelial cell injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundCalcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are associated with nephrotoxicity, endothelial cell dysfunction, and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Evolving evidence suggests an important role for complement dysregulation in the pathogenesis of CNI-induced ...
