The Immature Cells That Regulate Autoimmunity
Scientists have identified the cells responsible for producing anti-inflammatory IL-10 in mouse autoimmune disease models.
Autoimmunity Linked To Unstable Proteins
HLA alleles that encode for more unstable proteins are associated with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease.
The Role Of TH-GM Cells In Multiple Sclerosis
A study in mice shows that targeting the IL-7-STAT5 pathway could be a promising way to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
Common Cytomegalovirus Linked To Autoimmunity
Scientists have uncovered a link between the common cytomegalovirus infection and autoimmune disease.
Autoimmunity’s Perfect Storm: B Cells, NKT Cells & Lipids
B cells do more than produce antibodies; they also play a role in autoimmunity by hyper-activating NKT cells.
Understanding The Body’s Antibody Factories
A better understanding of plasma cell signaling could lead to better vaccines and therapies for autoimmune disease.
“Worm Pill” Could Ease Autoimmune Symptoms
Scientists have isolated a compound from parasitic worms which could be used to dampen the immune response.
Pig Whipworm Genome Could Aid Autoimmune Disorders
Understanding the genes which allow the pig parasite Trichuris suis to modify the human immune response could result in better treatments for autoimmune disease.
MacroGenics & Takeda Develop Bi-Specific Antibodies For Autoimmune Diseases
MGD010, which simultaneously targets the cell surface receptors CD32B and CD78B, could help modulate B cell function without causing depletion.
