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 ...
New research suggests that immune system activity may play a role in the development of several major mental health conditions. The study, published inMolecular Psychiatry, identified 29 ...
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 uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...
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 ...
