High myopia is a global health concern, often leading to degenerative retinal changes known as myopic retinopathy. Although mechanical stress, hypoperfusion, extracellular matrix remodeling, and growth factor dysregulation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of myopic retinopathy, emerging evidence highlights the critical role of chronic low-grade inflammation. Both innate and adaptive immune systems participate in myopic retinopathy through systemic and local inflammation.

Human pregnancy is a complex condition that poses significant challenges for women due to the necessity of a uterus for key processes such as fertilization, embryo implantation, fetal development, and childbirth. These processes are governed by immunological factors and accompanied by various physiological changes. For a successful pregnancy, maternal immune reprogramming is crucial because the developing embryo is considered a semi-allograft.

Introduction: An unbalanced immune response and excessive inflammation are the major hallmarks of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, which can result in multiorgan failure and death. The dysregulation of the complement system has been shown in various studies as a crucial factor in the immunopathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Complement alternative pathway has been linked to the excessive inflammation in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection in which decreased levels of factor H (FH) and elevated levels of properdin (FP) were observed.

Organ transplantation is a lifesaving procedure, with 50,000 transplants happening every year in the United States. However, many patients harbor antibodies and B cells directed against allogeneic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, notably HLA-A2, greatly decreasing their likelihood of receiving a compatible organ. Moreover, antibody-mediated rejection is a significant contributor to chronic transplant rejection.
