Site‐specific mutagenesis of residues in the human C5a anaphylatoxin which are involved in possible interaction with the C5a receptor [PDF]
To check and clarify existing data on receptor‐interacting residues in the human C5a anaphylatoxin, we tested mutant C5a proteins obtained by site‐directed mutagenesis of a recombinant human C5a (rhC5a) cDNA clone for structural and functional integrity.

Reprogramming Immunogenicity of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles through Sulfated Glycan Presentation
This study presents a comparative analysis of heparin (HP)‐ and dextran sulfate (DS)‐coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a tunable immunomodulatory platform where surface chemistry dictates therapeutic function. DS‐SPIONs are preferentially internalized by myeloid cells, reprogramming them into a pro‐healing M2 phenotype ...

The role of the complement system in traumatic brain injury: a review [PDF]
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important cause of disability and mortality in the western world. While the initial injury sustained results in damage, it is the subsequent secondary cascade that is thought to be the significant determinant of ...

First successful protocol for desensitization to eptinezumab
Abstract Background Eptinezumab is an anti‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide monoclonal antibody used for migraine prevention. During clinical trials, hypersensitivity to eptinezumab was described without a clear underlying mechanism. To determine if the reaction was immunoglobulin E–mediated, the team of Nice University Hospital (Nice, France) performed

Role of the complement anaphylatoxin C5a-receptor pathway in atopic dermatitis in mice
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a genetic background. The C5a‑receptor (C5aR) pathway has been reported to be involved in AD; however, the precise pathogenesis remains to be elucidated. In the present study, the contribution of the C5aR pathway to AD in mice was investigated.

Amniotic fluid embolism pathophysiology suggests the new diagnostic armamentarium: β-tryptase and complement fractions C3-C4 are the indispensable working tools [PDF]
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an uncommon obstetric condition involving pregnant women during labor or in the initial stages after delivery. Its incidence is estimated to be around 5.5 cases per 100,000 deliveries.

Mechanisms of Immune Evasion, Dissemination, and Persistence in Leishmania amazonensis Infection
ABSTRACT Leishmania amazonensis is one of the etiological agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in its localised form. Moreover, this parasite can cause more severe disease conditions, such as diffuse and disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. The development of more severe clinical manifestations is associated with the parasite's ability to establish a ...
