The complement system represents a cornerstone of innate immunity, comprising a cascade of plasma proteins that, upon activation, facilitate pathogen clearance and coordinate inflammatory signalling.

A research team at the Medical University of South Carolina reports in Cells that the complement system, part of the body's natural immune defenses, is a key driver of inflammatory responses that ...

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 ...

Our immune system is armed with an array of defenses designed to detect and eliminate harmful threats. One of its most powerful defense mechanisms is the complement system—a group of proteins that ...

Immunometabolism is an expanding field that examines the bidirectional interactions between immune signaling and metabolic regulation, with particular ...
