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 ...

Dysregulated complement pathways are linked to progression from iAMD to advanced AMD, including NVAMD and GA. Higher systemic levels of C4, C4b, and a reduction in C3 are associated with increased ...

Emerging opportunities in the C5 inhibitor market include advances in biosuperiors and biosimilars, targeting a range of C5-mediated diseases such as PNH and aHUS. Innovations focus on enhancing ...

C3G and IC-MPGN can be difficult to diagnose because they are so rare and their symptoms are vague and nonspecific. A kidney biopsy is considered the gold standard and usually needed to confirm the ...

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and autoimmune conditions when it turns against the body. The protein, Granzyme K, ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are rare kidney conditions caused by an overactive complement system, part of the immune system. C3G ...

Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease that affects your body’s innate immune system (complement system). Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a kidney disease that’s caused by ...

The immune system has become one of biotech's most important battlegrounds as drug developers race to target inflammatory ...
