A study by the research team of Prof. Geert van Loo (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) has unraveled a critical molecular mechanism behind autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified which parts of the immune system go awry and contribute to autoimmune diseases in individuals with Down syndrome.

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 ...

Mice with mutations in the Mer tyrosine kinase have deficits in the clearance of apoptotic thymocytes and increased titers of anti-DNA autoantibodies. These findings provide new in vivo evidence to ...

The unique role of citrullination in osteoclast differentiation and ACPA-induced osteoclast activation might explain important features of the gradual development of rheumatoid arthritis, including ...

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 ...
