Abstract
The complement system, a vital component of innate immunity, is indispensable to our immune defence mechanisms against microbial infections. Acting as a surveillance mechanism, it identifies and eliminates pathogens by activating several complement components and associated signalling pathways, which are also implicated in various diseases and disorders. Beyond its defensive role, the complement system has emerged as a promising target for vaccine development in therapeutic and preventive regimens, offering new vaccine strategies to combat non-infectious and infectious diseases. Activation of the complement pathways by various natural and synthetic adjuvants enhances protective immune responses, highlighting its utility in vaccine design. This approach could be useful for targeting autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer and neurological disorders.
期刊介绍：
J. R. Soc. Interface welcomes articles of high quality research at the interface of the physical and life sciences. It provides a high-quality forum to publish rapidly and interact across this boundary in two main ways: J. R. Soc. Interface publishes research applying chemistry, engineering, materials science, mathematics and physics to the biological and medical sciences; it also highlights discoveries in the life sciences of relevance to the physical sciences. Both sides of the interface are considered equally and it is one of the only journals to cover this exciting new territory. J. R. Soc. Interface welcomes contributions on a diverse range of topics, including but not limited to; biocomplexity, bioengineering, bioinformatics, biomaterials, biomechanics, bionanoscience, biophysics, chemical biology, computer science (as applied to the life sciences), medical physics, synthetic biology, systems biology, theoretical biology and tissue engineering.
