Researchers have identified mutations in a set of proteins that predispose their carriers to preeclampsia, a complication that shows up in between 5 percent and 10 percent of pregnancies. Their work ...

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 ...

University of Pennsylvania researchers have found a promising new treatment for periodontitis using a component of the immune system called complement, according to a new study in the Journal of ...

Commit Biologics ("Commit"), today announced positive results from a non-human primate (NHP) study demonstrating proof-of-concept for its proprietary Complement Engager (BiCE™) platform. The study ...

The complement system, a pivotal element of antiviral immunity, is a cascade of proteins found in the bloodstream and at mucosal sites, such as the respiratory tract. Activated through three different ...

Figure 1: Mannose-binding lectin (blue strands) can bind to sites on the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein on the cell membrane. One of the most striking features of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is that across all ...

In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers reviewed selected acute-phase proteins concerning their production, structure, and function. The advent of severe acute ...

A study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London has found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse changes in the immune system caused by menopause, potentially boosting ...
