Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have found a mechanism in the immune systems of mice that can lead to the development of autoimmune disease when turned off. The findings shed light on ...

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 moved an important step closer to understanding molecular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases. They solved the three-dimensional structure of the Roquin protein when bound to messenger ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that human proteins with an affinity for dermatan sulfate (DS) have the propensity to become autoantigens. In a companion article, the researchers also found that DS ...

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 ...

Inflammatory responses to cell-associated or tissue-associated immune complexes are key elements in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus ...

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 ...

The mammalian immune system has an extraordinary potential for making receptors that sense and neutralize any chemical entity entering the body. Inevitably, some of these receptors recognize ...

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), the Lupus Research Alliance, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society today announce the recipients of the Common ...
