Kininase I drives angiotensin II‐induced hypertension through activation of the bradykinin B1 receptor

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Kininase I, comprising carboxypeptidase N (CPN) and carboxypeptidase M, regulates kinin activity and is up‐regulated during injury, inflammation and immune activation. Under these conditions, kininase I converts bradykinin and kallidin into des‐Arg kinins, primary endogenous agonists of the bradykinin B1 receptor (R ...

Identification of the Major Phosphorylation Sites in Human C5a Anaphylatoxin Receptor in Vivo [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995
Interaction of human C5a anaphylatoxin with cell surface receptors mediates cell activation and receptor desensitization. Treatment of differentiated HL60 cells or transiently transfected COS-7 cells with C5a or phorbol 12-myristate 12-acetate (PMA) results in rapid hyperphosphorylation of the C5aR.

Complement C5a Receptor 1 Exacerbates the Pathophysiology of N. meningitidis Sepsis and Is a Potential Target for Disease Treatment

mBio, 2018
Sepsis caused by Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a rapidly progressing, life-threatening disease. Because its initial symptoms are rather unspecific, medical attention is often sought too late, i.e., when the systemic inflammatory response is ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Impact of systemic diseases on periodontal remodeling: Mechanisms, mediators, and clinical relevance

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal remodeling is a continuous, adaptive process essential for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of periodontal tissues. While external factors such as bacterial biofilm, excessive forces, and poor oral hygiene are recognized triggers of periodontal pathologies, they do not fully explain their persistent ...

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 9, Page 913-932, November 2026.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

Cracking the cytokine code in sickle cell disease: Immune‐informatics for precision inflammation mapping, risk prediction and therapeutic discovery

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Sickle cell disease inflammation emerges from interconnected cytokine networks. Immune‐informatics integrates multi‐omics, network biology and artificial intelligence to decode inflammatory signatures, predict complications and identify precision therapeutic targets. Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterised by chronic inflammation

C1qc Mediates Blood–Brain Barrier Disruption in a Mouse Model of Intracerebral Haemorrhage Through Microglia‐Derived Migrasomes

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Microglia‐derived migrasomes induce vascular endothelial pyroptosis through C1qc delivery, uncovering a novel mechanism of blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and proposing a novel therapeutic strategy targeting extracellular vesicles (EVs).
