Complement proteins may be helpful when it comes to rallying clearance of hazardous debris from the brain, but scientists believe the immune activators can also inflict irreparable damage to neurons ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
