…off the beta cells that produce insulin in the pancreas. Trials of therapies to moderate this autoimmune destruction in new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) have shown success, but not everyone…
…sharks appear to lack special types of so-called T-helper lymphocytes, that – until now – were considered to be essential for defense against viral/bacterial infections and preventing autoimmune reactions such…
…mouse model of multiple sclerosis, whereby drugs trigger an autoimmune response, leading to characteristic reactions within days. In this way, they induced neurological deficits comparable to those observed in MS….
…microRNAs,” said Hughes-Fulford. “Once we pinpoint the right targets, we can develop drugs to turn up the immune response for immunosuppressed patients or turn down the response to alleviate autoimmune…

…most useful for delivering biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies, which are used to treat cancer and autoimmune disorders like arthritis and Crohn’s disease. This class of drugs, known as “biologics,” also…
…like that seen in autoimmune diseases,” said Shadel. The study, however, suggests a new source of inflammation that could promote common diseases and aging, he added. The researchers also tested…
…inhibits NLRP3, which is part of a complex set of proteins called the inflammasome. The inflammasome drives the inflammatory response in several disorders including autoimmune diseases, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s…
