Managing complement 3 glomerulopathy involves several treatment options aimed at slowing disease progression and protecting kidney function. These may include blood pressure control, steroids, ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

The complement cascade is a vital component of the innate immune system. It consists of around 50 proteins, including circulating complement proteins and membrane-bound receptors. It operates through ...

Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own innate immune system. Evolutionary arms races — where one species is pitted ...

We sometimes hear about the benefits of “boosting” our immune system, but what we really want to do is support our immune system on an ongoing basis. People often think of the immune system as ...

Gut bacteria aren’t just passive passengers—they can actively send proteins straight into our cells. Using microscopic injection systems, even harmless microbes can influence immune responses and ...
