When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Shifting From Systemic to Precision‐Targeted Complement Therapies: Opportunities and Hurdles

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
Complement therapeutics have expanded considerably, but systemic inhibitors remain limited by infection risks, breakthrough events, and loss of physiological functions. Emerging targeted approaches aim for organ‐, tissue‐, or cell‐specific modulation of complement activity, potentially offering greater precision while reducing treatment burden and ...
