The complement system, crucial for immunity, is increasingly linked to development and regeneration. Research explores C3 interactions, inhibitors, and viral evasion for broader therapeutic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • The complement system is a key part of innate immunity and inflammation.
  • Emerging evidence indicates complement's role in non-inflammatory processes like development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review structural-functional aspects of C3-ligand interactions.
  • To discuss the design of small-molecule complement inhibitors.
  • To explore complement's role in regeneration and development.

Main Methods:

  • Proteomics-based approaches for studying complement protein-protein interactions.
  • Analysis of C3-ligand interactions.
  • Investigation of viral immune evasion strategies.

Main Results:
