Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement ...

Plant immunity is largely initiated at the cellular level, with each cell capable of autonomous detection and response, while ...

The story of Q32 Bio, a company that develops therapeutics for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, started two decades ago. That's when V. Michael Holers, MD, a University of Colorado School of ...

An early and effective immune response is crucial for resolving viral infections and preventing post-infectious complications. The complement system, a pivotal element of antiviral immunity, is a ...

For years, patients with C3G and IC-MPGN had few options to stop the progression toward kidney failure. Now a new class of ...

Complement Factor H (CFH) is a pivotal regulator of the complement system, integral to maintaining immune homeostasis and protecting host tissues from undue complement‐mediated damage. By inhibiting ...

Researchers at King's College London have discovered that an immune protein best known for protecting the body against ...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading ...

Our immune system is armed with an array of defenses designed to detect and eliminate harmful threats. One of its most powerful defense mechanisms is the complement system-a group of proteins that ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...
