In a new paper, Stevens et al. reveal an unexpected role for complement proteins, more usually known for their roles in innate immunity, in synaptic development. During development, inappropriate ...

Owing to the continuing emergence of 'superbugs', multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria, novel antibacterial strategies are urgently needed. Reporting in Nature Biotechnology, Scott and ...

CRP provides a link between the innate and adaptive immune systems by activation of complement and interaction with Fcγ receptors. Basal levels of CRP in the serum are influenced by polymorphisms ...

The Bachovchin lab uses chemical and cell biology approaches to study important questions in innate immunity. We are particularly interested in characterizing the molecular mechanisms controlling the ...

The new study highlights the key role in this process of a protein called Mincle, expressed in cells of the innate immune system. The study is published in the journal Immunity and was conducted ...

C-reactive protein is a highly conserved component of the innate immune system. Recent studies of ... and adaptive immune systems by activation of complement and interaction with Fcγ receptors.
