Arachnology and toxinology have increasingly illuminated the structural, biochemical and evolutionary diversity of venom ...

The complement system is a key component of innate and adaptive immunity and therefore acts as a vital defense against invading pathogens. Deficiencies in the complement system are associated with ...

The complement system in teleost fish constitutes a cornerstone of innate defence, integrating classical, lectin and alternative activation routes to eliminate pathogens and shape inflammatory ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

The complement system has more than 50 soluble and membrane-bound proteins. In innate and adaptive immunity, complement is essential for eliminating foreign pathogens and apoptotic cells. It is also ...

Immunotherapy is increasingly becoming standard therapy in cancer, with technology, such as checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapy, raising the efficacy bar in many forms of the disease. But the ...
