Asha Torczon explores why the female population are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases and the impact of misogyny in ...

Fc receptors for immunoglobulin G (FcγRs) link humoral and cellular immunity by binding antigen–IgG immune complexes and internalizing the complexes for efficient antigen presentation. FcγRs comprise ...

In 1901, Paul Ehrlich conducted one of the landmark experiments in immunology. While studying the immune response in goats using blood from other animals, ...

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study provides a better understanding of immune ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for blood cancers appeared less toxic, and patients' hospital stays were days shorter, when they also had autoimmune disease before starting the ...

Immune dysregulation is often defined as an immune response that is directed against one of the body’s own tissues, cells or molecules (e.g. autoimmunity) or against an innocuous foreign molecule that ...

It also provides strong evidence that cross-reactivity between human and microbial proteins drives autoimmunity in at least two diseases and probably many others. Now that we understand the underlying ...

Alzheimer’s may be, at least in part, a disease of the immune system. Evidence supporting this comes from the study of genetics, infectious diseases, and the molecular machinations of the innate and ...

Although a high degree of autoimmunity is harmful, low-level autoimmunity can be beneficial to the host. Theories supporting the self-defence mechanism of autoimmunity suggest that rather than the ...
