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 ...

Medical University of South Carolina scientists have uncovered a link between the innate immune system and cognitive problems ...

The complement component C5a and its receptors, C5aR1 and C5aR2, are central to the orchestration of innate immunity. C5a is a potent anaphylatoxin generated during complement activation, acting as a ...

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 ...

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 ...
