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 ...

Most people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus recover after the acute illness. However, a significant proportion of infected individuals develop long-lasting symptoms with a wide range of ...

Dianthus achieved its NASDAQ listing last year via a merger with Magenta Therapeutics. The company is focused on development of a single drug candidate, DNTH-103, which targets the complement system, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine have recently found that a certain protein may have a large influence on how the immune system functions. POSH, a structural protein, plays ...

Scientists have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, essentially rewiring how these cells generate energy. This metabolic reprogramming makes them ...
