Long Covid patients suffer from chronic symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath. As researchers have discovered, this is to some extent due to a part of our immune system called the complement ...

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 ...

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 ...

Changes to serum proteins could be behind the debilitating condition known as long COVID. The findings, published in the journal Science, could pave the way for diagnosing and treating the disease.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus recover after the acute illness. However, a significant proportion of infected individuals develop long-lasting symptoms with a wide range of ...

The complement system, a pivotal element of antiviral immunity, is a cascade of proteins found in the bloodstream and at mucosal sites, such as the respiratory tract. Activated through three different ...
