Complement Factor H (CFH) is a pivotal regulator of the complement system, integral to maintaining immune homeostasis and protecting host tissues from undue complement‐mediated damage. By inhibiting ...

Our immune system works all the time to protect us from harmful bacteria, viruses, and injuries. It is a complex system made ...

An MUSC research team reports in Cells that the complement system, part of the body's natural immune defenses, is a key driver of inflammatory responses that contribute to fetal brain inflammation and ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

Accurate measurement of HMGB-1, neopterin and sIL-2R supports reliable assessment of immune activation across clinical and ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

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, ...

Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new method to identify which proteins are most likely to trigger an immune ...

Massive hepatic necrosis (MHN) represents the most severe pathological form of acute liver failure (ALF), with high mortality ...
