Kriya Therapeutics presented preclinical data on its gene therapy candidate for the treatment of geographic atrophy.

The processed N-terminal T-Mac half binds to the chemokine receptors FPR1 and CXCR1/2 to ... is a cysteine protease that targets the complement system by degrading complement factors such as C3 and ...

The authors set out to use structural biology (cryo-em), SPR and complement convertase assays to understand the mechanism(s) by which ISG65 dampens the cytotoxicity/cellular clearance to/of ...

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria No regulators CD55 and CD59 Increased AP activity; MAC-mediated nocturnal lysis of RBCs (IVH); C3b ... receptors, CR3 and CR4, and the MAC). Furthermore, there is ...

A different protective role exerted by complement is the enhanced immune complexes clearance generated by C3b when bound to complement receptor 1 (CR-1) on the erythrocyte surface. Indeed, immune ...

For the first time, researchers have determined how a human olfactory receptor captures an airborne scent molecule, the pivotal chemical event that triggers our sense of smell. Whether it evokes ...

Key biomarker data demonstrate dose-dependent inhibition by KP104 of the alternative pathway (AP) and terminal pathway (TP) of complement activation, as assessed by a C3b deposition assay and a free ...

(12), a naturally occurring complement negative regulatory protein that serves as a receptor for C3b, C4b, C1q, and recognition molecules of the LP (13, 14). CR1 can also bind to C3b and C4b and ...
