An MUSC research team reports in Cells that the complement system, part of the body’s natural immune defenses, is a key driver of inflammatory responses that contribute to fetal brain inflammation and ...

The complement system is a key component of innate and adaptive immunity and therefore acts as a vital defense against invading pathogens. Deficiencies in the complement system are associated with ...

Changes to serum proteins could be behind the debilitating condition known as long COVID. The findings, published in the journal Science, could pave the way for diagnosing and treating the disease.

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 ...

Drawing from research on sepsis and complement biology, they developed the monoclonal antibody vilobelimab to block overactive inflammatory responses in patients with severe inflammatory diseases ...

The study of immune inflammatory responses centers on the intricate molecular pathways that both initiate and modulate these processes. Inflammation is ...

Undertaking a study of proteins found in the complement system, an important part of the immune system, of patients with long COVID, researchers have identified a blood protein ‘signature’ that may ...
