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 ...

Faults in a certain part of the immune system might be at the root of some long covid cases, new research suggests. For many people, covid is an illness that blusters in and out of our lives as cases ...

Medically reviewed by David Ozeri, MD Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disorder—in many cases, the exact ...

The story of Q32 Bio, a company that develops therapeutics for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, started two decades ago. That's when V. Michael Holers, MD, a University of Colorado School of ...

Current treatment methods for C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) help support kidney function and suppress immune system activity. Emerging therapies interrupt the proteins responsible for disease activity. C3G ...
