Description: Presents and discusses the advances that have been made in recent years in the understanding of the roles of the complement system in the maintenance of health and its participation in pathology. Topics are ordered in increasing complexity from basic molecular to human clinical, building the case for the ultimate message: time has come to find new ways to modulate the system in-vivo in order to make better use of its protective powers and to prevent its adverse effects in disease.
