The Eph/ephrin pathway is a core driver of vascular leak and endothelial damage in #sepsis but can be targeted effectively with an Eph decoy, show new experiments involving mice and samples from hospitalized children. @neurocomplement @UQMedicine https://t.co/bVVvlYxrCW

[NeuroComplement_Lab @neurocomplement]

Eph/ephrins and vascular leak markers were also increased in 91 children with suspected sepsis, with levels of Ephrin A1 and EphA2 correlating with severity of organ dysfunction. Targeting Eph/ephrin signaling may be a promising approach to treat endothelial dysfunction in sepsis

[NeuroComplement_Lab @neurocomplement]

Excited to share our work in @ScienceTM developing a new treatment approach for sepsis. We targeted the vascular endothelium by inhibiting Eph-ephrin interactions with EphA4-Fc, which reduced vascular leak, inflammation, and mortality in septic mice https://t.co/fwLOzrwnyG

The first Legacy award for Complement Research was awarded today to Piet Gros by the @ComplementSoc International Complement Society at an online symposium in his honor.

We celebrated his amazing contribution to the Structural Biology of Complement.

Congratulations 🎊 Piet!

3/3 Our data support the outstanding work of @LionakisLab Could this cell-intrinsic complement response be harnessed using therapeutics to fight infection? We are embarking on this question now @JohnDGLee @JennyNFung @UQMedicine

[NeuroComplement_Lab @neurocomplement]

1/3 Excited to share our latest research by the talented Dr Xaria Li on cell-intrinsic C5a in pathogen sensing and fungal killing. Out now in PNAS @PNASNews https://t.co/gzQjCGSMjr

[NeuroComplement_Lab @neurocomplement]

2/3 Xaria demonstrates human macrophages respond bidirectionally to C5a in synergy with a multitude of pathogen molecular triggers. Surprisingly, non TLR PRRs show the greatest enhancement of cytokine release with C5a receptor activation (eg. Dectin-1 / cGAS-STING)
