These findings suggest complement protein levels may be an important biomarker for type 1 diabetes. Disruption of the complement system appears to precede the onset of islet autoimmunity (IA), making ...

Researchers discover a link between an increase in protein Ba of the complement immune system and the eventual development of thrombotic microangiopathy in patients who have received an allogeneic ...

With Alzheimer’s disease therapies finally reaching the market and hundreds of active clinical trials for therapies and diagnostics, it seems like every week brings another potential avenue to explore ...

Complement component 3, often called C3, is an essential protein of the immune system. This protein plays a vital role in the body’s innate immune system, providing: the first line of defense against ...

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 ...

In the last five years, neuronal pentraxins have emerged as potential markers of synaptic loss. In the case of NPTX2, researchers may now be able to explain why. In the March 29 Science Translational ...

A recent article posted to the medRxiv* preprint server discussed the role of complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients and hospitalized coronavirus ...

Proteinuria affects most people with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Protein in urine is one of the strongest indicators of disease progression. Reducing proteinuria can slow the progression of C3G ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated the expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRPs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to identify potential ...
