Medically reviewed by Michael Menna, DO Complement 3 glomerulopathy is a rare disease caused by a buildup of proteins in the ...

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 ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are two rare kidney diseases. They’re both driven by activity of the complement system, which is 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 ...

Faults in a certain part of the immune system might be at the root of some long covid cases, new research suggests. For many people, covid is an illness that blusters in and out of our lives as cases ...

Medically reviewed by Matthew Wosnitzer, MD Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease that is also considered an autoimmune disorder. There is no single cure for C3G, but several ...

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, ...

(Left) Pre-ignition (below the activation threshold) Only a handful of immune “tags” (C3b proteins) cover the nanoparticle, so it barely sticks to the white membrane—too few contact points means the ...

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called platelet factor 4 naturally declines over time, allowing blood stem cells ...
