Nanoparticles introduced into the bloodstream encounter the immune complement system, a proteolytic cascade that bridges innate surveillance and adaptive responses. Complement activation can occur via ...
The complement cascade, a cornerstone of innate immunity, has been increasingly recognised for its non-canonical role in sculpting neural circuits through synaptic pruning. Central to this process is ...
Arachnology and toxinology have increasingly illuminated the structural, biochemical and evolutionary diversity of venom ...
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 ...
Among people with sickle cell disease—an inherited blood disorder—acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death. The condition is the result of red blood cells becoming stiff, sticky, and ...
A collaborative team from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Perelman School of Medicine have unraveled the mathematics of a 500-million-year-old protein network that acts like the ...
