Authors: Shoda L, Kenz Z, Clemens L

In part one of this complement blog series, the complement cascade and its role in various diseases was introduced, as well as the potential for mechanistic modeling to support development of complement‑targeted therapeutics. COMPLEMENTsym, a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model of complement focused on the alternative and terminal pathways (AP, TP, respectively) was introduced.
