Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease. view more (2005-08-19)
Stopping autoimmunity before it strikes
Current research describes a new method to track the development of autoimmune diseases before the onset of symptoms. The related report by Zangani et al, "Tracking early autoimmune disease by bioluminescent imaging of NF-κB activation reveals pathology in multiple organ systems," appears in the April 2009 issue of The American... view more...

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)
Sun exposure may trigger certain autoimmune diseases in women
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight may be associated with the development of certain autoimmune diseases, particularly in women. view more (2009-07-31)
Potential autoimmunity-inducing cells found in healthy adults
It's not just patients with autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that have self-attacking immune cells-healthy people have them too, according to a new report in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2008-12-22)
Vitamin D may exacerbate autoimmune disease
Deficiency in vitamin D has been widely regarded as contributing to autoimmune disease, but a review appearing in Autoimmunity Reviews explains that low levels of vitamin D in patients with autoimmune disease may be a result rather than a cause of disease and that supplementing with vitamin D may actually exacerbate autoimmune disease. view more (2009-04-09)
Understanding a target of quinoline drugs
The full details about the molecules and mechanisms that underlie the development of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus, remain to be discovered. view more (2009-04-28)
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)
Gene regulates immune cells' ability to harm the body
A recently identified gene allows immune cells to start the self-destructive processes thought to underlie autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-07-17)
'Autoantibodies' may be created in response to bacterial DNA
Autoimmune diseases have long been regarded as illnesses in which the immune system creates autoantibodies to attack the body itself. view more (2009-04-28)
New discovery paves the way for new diagnosis of serious lung disease
The discovery by Uppsala University researchers of a previously unknown protein in the cells of the lower air ways brings new potential for early diagnosis of a serious lung disease. view more (2009-03-02)

Comorbidities common in bipolar disorder, may have genetic link
While the symptoms of bipolar disorder can be disabling on their own, most patients with the condition also are afflicted with a variety of other psychiatric, substance use and physical disorders. view more (2007-06-11)
Poor prognosis for depression linked to an autoimmune thyroid condition?
Whether depression is linked to having an under-active thyroid gland has been debated for many years. Research published in BMC Psychiatry this week suggests that some patients with depression may be suffering from a subtle autoimmune thyroid condition, which could hinder their recovery. The study also suggests that physicians could use indicators... view more... (2004-03-10)
Could autoantibodies predict future disease in healthy people? (pp 1544)
A review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET discusses how autoantibody detection in the blood of healthy individuals could have potential as a marker for future autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus syndrome. Hal Scofield from the Oklahoma Research Foundation, USA, discusses recent evidence suggesting that... view more... (2004-05-05)
Glucosamine-like supplement inhibits multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes
A glucosamine-like dietary supplement has been found to suppress the damaging autoimmune response seen in multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes mellitus, according to University of California, Irvine health sciences researchers. view more (2007-05-15)
