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 ...

The immune system is our frontline protection against infection, continually searching for and destroying unknown pathogens.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

A collaborative research team from Jilin University, Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that ...

Among people with sickle cell disease—an inherited blood disorder—acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death. The condition is the result of red blood cells becoming stiff, sticky, 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, ...
