These are exciting times for biotech business Complement Therapeutics, which stands on the cusp of an important milestone in ...

An international study led by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has identified a promising ...

"The complement system is perhaps the oldest-known part of our extracellular immune system," says Jacob Brenner, a physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. "It plays a crucial role ...

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) are two rare types of kidney disease caused by underlying immune system activity.

Activation of the complement system kicks off a cascade of reactions that recruits immune cells to the site of an infection, flags pathogens for destruction, or even destroys microbes by poking ...

The immune system has evolved to act as a first responder against infections, and scientists have revealed how it knows when to activate.

The complement receptor 1 (CR1) gene encodes a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions in the innate immune system. CR1 is expressed on blood cells and microglia. As a receptor for the complement ...

The immune system has traditionally been divided into innate and adaptive components, each with a different function and role. The adaptive component is organized around two classes of specialized ...

Complement responses may contribute to priming of the adaptive immune system or serious adverse events such as hepatotoxicity and thrombotic microangiopathy.
