Abstract

Decay accelerating factor (DAF), a product of mesangial cells in vitro, is expressed on the surface of cells and is a candidate for the focal suppression of complement activation. It is not clear at present whether the levels of expression of DAF and intrarenal C3 synthesis correlate with the level of tissue injury. Immunohistochemistry for DAF and C3 and nonradioactive in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probe for DAF and C3 mRNA were performed in 22 tissue samples of kidneys from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), 6 with membranous nephropathy (MN), 6 with lupus nephritis (LN), and five normal kidneys. In the normal kidney, DAF was confined to the juxtaglomerular apparatus and little or no C3 was detected; however, a few glomerular cells were positive for DAF mRNA but no C3 mRNA positive cells were detected. In diseased kidneys, DAF and C3 as well as their mRNAs were detected in mesangial cells, tubular cells and infiltrating cells. Glomerular epithelial cells and Bowman's capsule cells contained little or no DAF and C3 but were positive for their mRNAs. The mean percentages of mesangial cells positive for DAF and C3 mRNAs were 49.3 +/- 11.5% and 50.7 +/- 10.3% in IgAN, and 17.0 +/- 6.3% and 19.4...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
