Researchers at Children's Discover Connection between Allergic Diseases and Autoimmune Diseases
A new study by researchers at Children's and the University of Washington (UW) identifies a connection between allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, and autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-04-04)
Scientists Learn the Origin of Rogue B Cells
Doctors have long wondered why, in some people, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect, leading to autoimmune disease. view more (2007-02-08)
Study Tests Oral Insulin to Prevent Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers have begun a clinical study of oral insulin to prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in at-risk people, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced today. view more (2007-02-01)
Regulatory T cells require WASp if they are to prevent self-destruction
In humans, mutation of the gene encoding a protein known as WASp leads to susceptibility to infections and systemic autoimmunity. view more (2007-01-12)
Antibody therapy prevents type 1 diabetes in mice
University of Pittsburgh investigators have successfully prevented the onset of type 1 diabetes in mice prone to developing the disease using an antibody against a receptor on the surface of immune T-cells. According to the investigators. view more (2007-01-09)
Epstein-Barr virus may be associated with multiple sclerosis
Young adults with high levels of antibodies against the Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that most often causes mononucleosis, may be more likely to develop multiple sclerosis 15 to 20 years later. view more (2006-04-11)
Sexual differences in immune response appear at puberty
The differences in the male and female immune responses, which make females more prone to autoimmune disease and males more subject to infections, are established during puberty. view more (2006-02-22)
Worm parasite may hold clues in bid for illness and allergy cures
Tiny worms that can trick the body's natural defences could hold the key to new treatments for a range of conditions, including diabetes, asthma and hay fever. view more (2005-11-08)
Gene for immune deficiency syndromes found
A newly discovered gene mutation may account for many cases of immune deficiency, in particular two syndromes known as immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), report researchers in the July issue of Nature Genetics. The discovery may lead to a new diagnostic test for these conditions, which make people highly... view more... (2005-07-11)
Stress can contribute to childhood diabetes
Stress and difficult life events in the family can contribute to the development of diabetes in children. A correlation between such mental duress and diabetes-related autoimmune activity has been established in studies at Linköping University. The studies involve 17,000 children born in 1997-99 and their parents. In blood samples from the... view more... (2004-02-27)
The genetic basis for autoimmunity discovered
Researchers from the Basque University have discovered the relationship between E2F2 gene and autoimmunity. The Science Faculty team, leaded by Ana Zubiaga has published the results of its researches in the fifteenth issue of the Immunity magazine. The team began analysing E2F2 gene and its family. This gene family is responsible for the cell... view more... (2002-03-01)
Automimmune response more common in people with severe coronary heart disease
The development of severe coronary artery disease may be part of a systemic autoimmune response, suggests research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2002-01-15)
