Hypersensitivity reactions to complement activation-related pseudo-allergy (CARPA) pose a serious concern to patient safety when using nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (NDDS). Complement activation-related pseudo-allergy is a severe, idiosyncratic hypersensitivity reaction consequent to complement activation and liberation of potent pro-inflammatory molecules. Recent developments have concentrated on identifying, managing, and preventing CARPA to improve the efficacy and safety of NDDS, including early identification biomarkers and highly sensitive diagnostic techniques. The development of biocompatible nanoparticles, surface changes to reduce complement activation, and the use of complement inhibitors are some of the innovative strategies for CARPA reduction that are highlighted. Furthermore, newly developed management procedures, such as premedication schedules, customized dosage plans, and real-time monitoring methods, are also covered. The scope of this review encompasses the new diagnostic methods based on in-vitro assays, ex-vivo models, and highly sensitive imaging techniques for the detection of complement activation and other related pseudo-allergic reactions including liposome encapsulation and PEGylation to enhance biocompatibility and decrease immune stimulation. Special emphasis is paid to the application of high-throughput screening technologies and omics tools that enhance the likelihood and evaluation of CARPA immunogenicity. Integration of these approaches forms a comprehensive approach to improving the understanding and administration of CARPA in clinical settings to increase patient safety during nanoparticle-based treatment. The advanced alignments complement regulatory and clinical concerns and connect experimental paradigms to applications, such integration of knowledge provides a platform for the development of next-generation NDDSs for reducing CARPA and enhancing the efficiency of medication delivery thereby increasing patient compliance. This abstract delineates the methods of diagnosing, preventing, and managing CARPA, with addressing the nanotechnology for the problem.

Immunity and neuroinflammation in early stages of life and epilepsy.

Epilepsia

The immune system is crucial for the correct brain development, and recent findings also point toward central control of immune response. As the immune system is not fully developed at birth, the early years become an important window for infections and for the development of epilepsy. Both central and even peripheral inflammation may impact brain function, promoting opening of the blood-brain/blood and cerebrospinal barriers and allowing entry of immune cells and cytokines, which in turn may affect neuron function and connections.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), accounts for a major cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide, with a complicated pathogenesis and limited effective strategies nowadays. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a classical ligand-activated nuclear transcription factor. It is expressed in the renal intrinsic and immune cells, especially macrophages.

Classification of C-Type Lectins and Recognition of Pathogens.

Microbiol Immunol

March 2025

Division of Molecular and Cellular Immunoscience, Department of Biomolecular Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Saga University, Saga, Japan.

C-type lectins are calcium-dependent glycan-binding proteins that play key roles in the innate immune response by recognizing pathogens. Soluble C-type lectins agglutinate and neutralize pathogens, activate the complement system, and promote pathogen clearance via opsonization. Membrane-bound C-type lectins, also known as C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), internalize pathogens and induce their degradation in lysosomes, presenting pathogen-derived antigens to MHC-II molecules to activate adaptive immunity.

Bacteriophages (phages) are emerging as a viable adjunct to antibiotics for the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. While intravenous phage therapy has proven successful in many cases, clinical outcomes remain uncertain due to a limited understanding of host response to phages. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the interaction between clinical-grade phages used to treat MDR Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, and human peripheral blood immune cells.

Emerging targeted therapies in ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

March 2025

Department of Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.

Drug development in ANCA-associated vasculitis has aimed to improve on the success of the B cell depleting monoclonal antibody rituximab and exploit better understanding of inflammatory pathways. More potent B cell depletion strategies are being tested as are B cell cytokine inhibitors. The involvement of the complement system in pathogenesis is more complicated than previously thought and extends beyond C5a dysregulation and its inhibition with avacopan, broader complement inhibitors and complement regulatory agonists are potential newer therapies.
