Autoimmune disease occurs from the body’s immune system attacking its healthy cells. Unfortunately, the mechanism that would normally prevent autoimmunity is not present in some individuals. T cells ...

Scientists have revealed a novel mechanism through which the immune system controls autoimmunity and cancer. In the special focus of the researchers were regulatory T cells -- a type of white blood ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists in the laboratory of Stephen Miller, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Microbiology–Immunology, have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms required for the ...

A recent review published in the Journal of Autoimmunity discussed the applications of single-cell ribonucleic acid sequencing (scRNA-seq) in understanding autoimmune disorders. The review ...

The immune system is responsible for safeguarding the body from external and internal dangers. It does this, for the most part, by targeting and eliminating perceived threats ranging from invading ...

Scientists have found a new piece in the puzzle that explains why B cells self-react in autoimmune disease—and, with it, a potential new treatment strategy. In an article published Sept. 29 in the ...

The interplay between immunogenetics and the human microbiota has emerged as a focal point in unraveling the complexities of autoimmune diseases. While HLA ...

The researchers of a single-center study found that the relationships between epilepsy and autoimmune diseases may be a result of the different etiopathogenetic mechanisms that underly seizure ...

Scientists at the Department of Infection and Immunity of the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) revealed a novel mechanism through which the immune system can control autoimmunity and cancer. In ...
