Overview

Massimo Cugno is affiliated with the University of Milan in Italy and focuses primarily on medical research. Their research spans various fields of study including medicine, immunology, rheumatology, genetics, infectious diseases, and hematology. The main topics addressed in their work involve the complement system in diseases, urticaria and related conditions, coagulation processes linked to bradykinin, polyphosphates and angioedema, autoimmune bullous skin diseases, COVID-19 clinical research studies, blood groups and transfusion, as well as renal diseases and glomerulopathies.

They have contributed publications to several academic journals, with frequent appearances in:

  • Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
  • Journal of Autoimmunity
  • Journal of Clinical Medicine
  • Journal of Nephrology
  • Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

Recent papers authored by Massimo Cugno include:

  • "Complement activation in patients with COVID-19: A novel therapeutic target" (2020), published in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
  • "Complement activation and endothelial perturbation parallel COVID-19 severity and activity" (2020), published in Journal of Autoimmunity

Among their frequent co-authors are Samantha Griffini, Elena Grovetti, Flora Peyvandi, Gianluigi Ardissino, and Riccardo Asero.

Their body of work encompasses diverse topics within immunology and medicine, reflecting an emphasis on understanding mechanisms related to the immune system and its role in various diseases, particularly conditions involving complement activation and chronic spontaneous urticaria. This research contributes to domains exploring the immune response in infectious diseases such as COVID-19 as well as autoimmune and hematological conditions.
