Researchers who discovered a mechanism that prevents B cells from attacking the body’s own tissues in autoimmune diseases win ...

People who suffer from the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis experience muscle weakness that can affect any of the muscles ...

whereas autoimmunity is driven by dysregulation of the same mechanisms that are involved in host defence and immune surveillance. Therefore, as we manipulate the immune system to treat cancer or ...

According to Altindis, molecular mimicry is one autoimmune mechanism in which the immune system cannot distinguish between a foreign antigen that shares a structural similarity with a host protein and ...

Research in mice has shown that NPSLE-like symptoms and olfactory impairment might be induced by autoimmune mechanisms that target specific areas of the brain, but this has not been explored.

and some pathogenic cells escape this stringent screening to reach peripheral tissues and cause autoimmune disease and inflammation. Therefore, additional peripheral regulatory mechanisms ensure ...

The study provides a better understanding of immune regulation during infection and could provide a foundation for interventions to prevent or reverse autoimmune diseases. During infections ...

This work helps identify the critical importance of Tregs in autoimmune disorders after infection. Overall, Savage and others for the first time demonstrate the immune-modulated mechanism that drives ...

Researchers used a cutting-edge imaging technique to uncover new details about the mechanisms underlying the disease. People who suffer from the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis experience ...

In the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis ... to believe that myasthenia gravis may be caused by varying underlying mechanisms for different people. Researchers at UC San Diego’s School ...
