Complement System Part II: Role in Immunity
The complement system has been considered for a long time as a simple lytic cascade, aimed to kill bacteria infecting the host organism. Nowadays, this vision has changed and it is well accepted that complement is a complex innate immune surveillance system, playing a key role in host homeostasis, inflammation, and in the defense against pathogens. This review discusses recent advances in the u...
متن کاملSpinal Sensorimotor System Part II:
These are the neurons that actually drive the muscle cells. There are five classes, designated as alpha ( -MNs), static beta ( s-MNs), dynamic beta ( d-MNs), static gamma ( s-MNs), and dynamic gamma ( d-MNs). The -MNs are the main drive neurons for the extrafusal muscle fibers, and hence are known as slow (S), fast-resistant to fatigue (FR), and fast-fatiguing (FF) skeleto-motoneurons. The -MNs...
متن کاملEchinoderm immunity and the evolution of the complement system.
Our understanding of inflammatory responses in humans has its roots in the comparative approach to immunology. In the late 1900s, research on echinoderms provided the initial evidence for the importance of phagocytic cells in reactions to foreign material. Studies of allograft rejection kinetics have shown that echinoderms have a non-adaptive, activation type of immune response. Coelomocytes me...

متن کاملComplement System Part I – Molecular Mechanisms of Activation and Regulation
Complement is a complex innate immune surveillance system, playing a key role in defense against pathogens and in host homeostasis. The complement system is initiated by conformational changes in recognition molecular complexes upon sensing danger signals. The subsequent cascade of enzymatic reactions is tightly regulated to assure that complement is activated only at specific locations requiri...
