Panelists discuss how immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy develops through a complex 4-hit cascade involving aberrant IgA1 glycosylation, anti-glycan antibody formation, immune complex deposition, and ...

It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) ...

Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

Immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) is a rare disease that affects the filtering units in your kidneys (glomeruli). There are many types of glomerular diseases.

Your immune system harbors a lifetime's worth of information about threats it's encountered—a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you've conquered; others ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration. Using ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are rare kidney conditions caused by an overactive complement system, part of the immune system. C3G ...

Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) has issued comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for clinicians managing immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and immunoglobulin A vasculitis ...

Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases. Your immune system ...
