Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement ...

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 ...

Medically reviewed by David Ozeri, MD Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disorder—in many cases, the exact ...

A protein made by gut cells helps to destroy harmful bacteria in the intestines, according to experiments in mice 1. Roughly 50 proteins in the blood make up the complement system, which forms a ...

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 ...

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, ...

C3G and IC-MPGN both cause protein deposits that reduce kidney function. Overactive proteins in the immune system lead to these different conditions. C3G and IC-MPGN are rare kidney conditions. They ...

Proteinuria (protein in urine) is common with complement 3 glomeropathy and is a strong predictor of disease progression and end-stage kidney failure.

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly ...
