When drug development and the immune system collide we get CAR-T, checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and more. These fields have produced many therapies and garnered a ...
Global understanding of complement has shifted and developed since the 21st century: from our idea of a blood-based antibiotic system to a global regulator of immunity and tissue homeostasis. Recent ...
Kupffer cells and other macrophage cell types help clear complement-coated pathogens. As part of the innate immune system, elements of the complement cascade can be found in species earlier than ...
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 ...
Most people are familiar with the immune system and its role in protecting against diseases and infection. But what about the complement system? The complement system is a foundational part of the ...
The complement system normally eliminates bacteria and has a protective effect. However, in an inflammatory setting such as sepsis, an exaggerated or insufficient activation of this cascade can have ...
In recent years growing attention has been directed towards the molecular mechanisms that are shared by the nervous and immune systems. In a new paper, Stevens et al. reveal an unexpected role for ...

VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y. – Complement system consists of more than 30 proteins and it operates as defense against infection. Composition of the 30 proteins in blood or serum is known as complement cascade ...
In view of the importance of complement system in the initiation, regulation and end effects of immune responses and understanding of immune system as one of the targets for the toxic effects of ...
The complement system consists of a number of small proteins found in the blood, in general synthesized by the liver, and normally circulating as inactive precursors (pro-proteins). When stimulated by ...
