Immunotherapy is increasingly becoming standard therapy in cancer, with technology, such as checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapy, raising the efficacy bar in many forms of the disease. But the ...
Long Covid patients suffer from chronic symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath. As researchers have discovered, this is to some extent due to a part of our immune system called the complement ...
It was called ‘complement’ because it aided the antibacterial activity of antibodies. However, it is now known that the complement system can be activated early in an infection without the presence of ...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. There are increasing evidences to suggest the complement system may play a significant role on the ...
Changes to serum proteins could be behind the debilitating condition known as long COVID. The findings, published in the journal Science, could pave the way for diagnosing and treating the disease.
The fact that the complement system is activated during immune-complex glomerular disease has been known for nearly 50 years. Detection of complement deposition in the glomerulus using immunochemistry ...
Recent clinical trials utilizing high doses of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have highlighted a new challenge to AAV gene transfer—activation of the complement system. A new article in Human ...
Journal in the field and provides all-inclusive access to the critical pillars of human gene therapy: research, methods, and clinical applications. Recent clinical trials utilizing high doses of adeno ...
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 ...
The complement system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19 since early on in the pandemic. Multiple studies have shown elevated levels of complement activation products such as ...
