C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are two rare kidney diseases. They’re both driven by activity of the complement system, which is a ...
Undertaking a study of proteins found in the complement system, an important part of the immune system, of patients with long COVID, researchers have identified a blood protein ‘signature’ that may ...
Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A protein known as granzyme K was recently shown to be a driver of inflammation by activating the complement ...
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It involves the systematic identification, quantification, and analysis of the entire protein complement ...
These findings suggest complement protein levels may be an important biomarker for type 1 diabetes. Disruption of the complement system appears to precede the onset of islet autoimmunity (IA), making ...
Proteinuria affects most people with complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Protein in urine is one of the strongest indicators of disease progression. Reducing proteinuria can slow the progression of C3G ...
