A protein made by gut cells helps to destroy harmful bacteria in the intestines, according to experiments in mice 1. Roughly 50 proteins in the blood make up the complement system, which forms a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, essentially rewiring how these cells generate energy. This metabolic reprogramming makes them ...

Researchers have shown that certain plant proteins resemble human signaling proteins of the immune system and can bind to their receptors. The human immune system is based on cells that communicate ...

Swiss scientists have identified immune system abnormalities in patients with long COVID that might open the door to new diagnostic tests and treatments. The researchers found that a group of proteins ...
