From football fields to military training grounds, head injuries are leaving lasting marks on the brain in ways we're only beginning to understand. Repeated concussions can increase the risk of mood ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

C3G and IC-MPGN both cause protein deposits that reduce kidney function. Overactive proteins in the immune system lead to these different conditions. C3G and IC-MPGN are rare kidney conditions. They ...

Huntington's Disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder controlled by a single gene and is characterized by motor and cognitive deficits and psychiatric symptoms. Currently, no treatments ...
