A distinct variant of the SzM protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus recruits C1q independent of IgG binding and inhibits activation of the classical complement pathway by René Bergmann, Wieland Schroedl, Uwe Müller, Christoph Georg Baums

“…Addition of human plasma to immobilized rSzM_C2 and immobilized aggregated IgG led to binding of C1q, but only the latter activated the complement system, as shown by the detection of C4 deposition. Complement activation induced by aggregated IgG was significantly reduced if human plasma was pre-incubated with rSzM_C2. …”

Causal Central Network Remodeling in Diabetic Neuropathy: An Integrated MR-fMRI Study by Li X, Gao L

“…For validation, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) analyses were conducted using rs-fMRI scans from DPN patients (n=16), diabetic controls without DPN (NDPN, n=24), and healthy controls (HC, n=20).Results: Bidirectional MR demonstrated that: (a) reduced default mode-visual network connectivity causally elevates DPN risk (OR=0.61, P=0.04); (b) DPN promotes subcortical-cerebellar hyperconnectivity (OR=1.04, P=0.01). …”
