The new edition of Svar's Complement System Specialist Review offers an updated and comprehensive overview of the complement system, its physiological functions, and its involvement in a wide range of diseases and pathological processes. The review also covers current research trends, the complement therapeutics landscape, and best practices in complement testing.
Complement Dysregulation and Disease Insights
This edition provides an up to date review of conditions in which complement dysregulation is most clearly defined, distinguishing between disorders driven by insufficient activation and those influenced by enhanced complement activity.
Evolving Complement‑Targeted Therapeutics
Interest in complement‑targeted therapeutics continues to grow. The review examines both established treatments and emerging opportunities across multiple disease areas, including the proposed role of complement modulation in cancer therapy.
Best Practices in Complement Testing
As the potential to leverage the complement system in diagnostics and therapeutic development grows, so does the need for robust complement testing strategies. The authors outline:
-
current screening methodologies
- multi step approaches across all three complement pathways
- best practices for sample storage and preparation
- considerations for monitoring complement modulating drugs
