This revealed an astrocyte-driven upregulation of the levels of C1q complement protein mRNA. Next the authors investigated the normal expression of C1q in the CNS. Immunostaining showed that C1q ...

This process is considered as a basis for long-lasting memory. In this study, we will elucidate roles of C1q family proteins in regulation of synapse formation and maintenance in adult brain.

To explore collagen assembly at an atomic level, the research team designed a system of self-assembling peptides based on the ...

C1q/TNF-related protein 3 and C1q/TNF-related protein 9 are diminished in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, in proportion to disease severity, and are associated with elevated ...

and constitutes 0.01% of the total plasma protein. 3 Adiponectin monomers usually form a collagen triple helix with a C-terminal trimeric globular C1q head domain, resulting in what is often ...
