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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system mistakenly targets and damages the body’s cells and tissues as though they were foreign invaders. This widespread category of illnesses, such as ...

The immune response to complexes of the positively charged chemokine platelet factor 4 (PF4, CXCL4) and polyanions 1, shows a spectrum of symptoms in patients with asymptomatic serum positivity for ...

Share on Pinterest Scientists have identified a novel molecular pathway that may link salt intake to MS risk. Ina Peters/Stocksy Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by the ...
