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)

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)

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)

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)

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... 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,... 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)

Specific location of the TRAF1/C5 gene associated with multiple autoimmune diseases
The TRAF1/C5 locus on chromosome 9 has been revealed to play a role in multiple autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).   view more (2008-06-16)

Bone marrow stem cells may help control inflammatory bowel disease
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators have found that infusions of a particular bone marrow stem cell appeared to protect gastrointestinal tissue from autoimmune attack in a mouse model.   view more (2008-08-21)

Can you hear me now? Scientists find previously unknown receptors on adult stem cells
For many years, researchers believed that stem cells in the bone marrow spent most of their existence in a slumber-like state, unaware of — and unaffected by — the daily battles fought by the body's immune system.   view more (2006-06-21)

NIH scientists find a novel mechanism that controls the development of autoimmunity
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found a mechanism in the immune systems of mice that can lead to the development of autoimmune disease when turned off.   view more (2008-08-14)

Protein complementarity may offer new insights into autoimmune diseases
The discovery of "complementary" antibodies against plasminogen in patients with blood vessel inflammation caused by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) may lead to new approaches to research, testing, and treatment of ANCA vasculitis and other autoimmune diseases, suggests... view more (2008-08-14)

Protein's New Role Discovered in Autoimmune Disease
Investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have identified the previously unknown role of a chemical 'messenger' leading to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.   view more (2008-01-03)

Mystery solved: Gold's power against autoimmune diseases defined
Gold compounds have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases for more than 75 years, but until now, how the metals work has been a mystery.   view more (2006-02-27)

Researchers from 5 countries to test hygiene hypothesis with EU funding
High living standards and the life style connected to them seem to promote the development of autoimmune diseases and allergic symptoms. This has lead to the assumption that the immune system begins to overreact to the organism's own structures or to exogenous non-infectious proteins, i.e.... view more (2008-05-28)

Potential diabetes treatment selectively kills autoimmune cells from human patients
In experiments using blood cells from human patients with diabetes and other autoimmune disorders, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have confirmed the mechanism behind a potential new therapy for type 1 diabetes.   view more (2008-08-26)

Cancer and arthritis therapy may be promising treatment for diabetes
An antibody used to treat certain cancers and rheumatoid arthritis appears to greatly delay type 1 diabetes in mice, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.   view more (2007-12-19)

Identification of chemokines and cytokines offers new hope for inflammatory myopathy patients
The inflammatory myopathies comprise three different entities: polymyositis, inclusion body myositis and dermatomyositis. People in all age groups can be affected by major muscle weakness and pain, and show evidence of muscle fiber breakdown in the serum. Autoimmune pathogenetic mechanisms have... view more (2002-09-10)

The molecular mechanism of a diabetes vaccine revealed
A team of researchers led by Prof. Irun Cohen of the Weizmann Institute of Science Immunology Department has revealed the molecular mechanism of a vaccine for Type 1 diabetes.   view more (2006-06-20)

A cytokine not kind to an injury of the spine
Transverse Myelitis (TM) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that is characterized by focal spinal cord demyelination and axonal injury.   view more (2005-09-23)

Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and Autoimmune Diseases
Study of Lupus Patient Confirms Promise of Stem Cell Transplant Therapy   view more (2002-05-30)

Penn Scientists Show How Body Determines Optimal Amount of Germ-Fighting B Cells
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine can now explain how the body determines whether there are enough mature B-cells in the blood stream at any one time. These are the cells that produce antibodies against germs to fight infections.   view more (2008-11-05)

Autoimmune Diseases And Genetics
Autoimmune diseases are quite complex and this is due to the fact that these illnesses do not depend on just one gene. Thus, in order to find a suitable treatment, it is not enough to identify a gene involved in the development of the disease - each and every one has to be identified. To this end,... view more (2004-07-19)
