Lund Respiratory Network, LURN, was officially started in May 2003 and was constituted as an association in March 2010. It is an association established to facilitate collaborations in respiratory research. The aim is to connect and highlight research in the airway area and contribute to the exchange of knowledge and cooperation among colleagues in the country's southern healthcare region.LURN wor

In blood, complement proteins are a major component and perhaps therefore most of these were identified already decades ago. However, only in recent years it has become apparent that complement not only plays a major role in innate defense against pathogens but also identifies foreign materials and removes waste (immune complexes and dying cells). The physiological relevance of complement is demon

We are studying an unexpected role of complement – in the physiology and metabolism of pancreatic beta-cells. Surprisingly, this is related to intracellular functions of complement and therefore changes the way we perceive this “blood” system and will likely inspire discovery of many other intracellular effects of complement. We study the role of intracellular complement factor C3 and membrane bou

As a first line of defense against pathogens and a mediator between innate and adaptive immunity, complement is a particular focus of evasion strategies developed by pathogens. We showed that one common strategy is to bind complement inhibitor C4BP, which leads to decreased opsonisation of bacteria with C3b impairing phagocytosis and allowing bacterial survival. It appears that binding of C4BP is

Expression of COMP in breast cancer tissue Complement-dependent cytotoxicity is one of the mechanisms by which therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are toxic to cancer cells. Also, complement is currently undergoing re-appreciation of its role in the immune surveillance of tumors.

Complement has recently gained substantial worldwide attention, as it was discovered that several common diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (blindness in elderly) are related to deregulation of the balance between complement activation and inhibition. Full complement deficiencies lead to severe infectious and autoimmune diseases but are uncommon while it appears that we are just beg
