Researchers identified over 400 genetic variants linked to autoimmune hypothyroidism, separating immune and thyroid-specific ...

An autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, called autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT), is the most common autoimmune disease, yet it remains largely understudied. New research from scientists ...

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 ...

The term autoimmunity refers to the failure of the human body's immune system to recognize its cells and tissues as "self." In contrast, humoral and cell-mediated immune responses by B lymphocytes and ...

Autoimmune diseases are conditions that arise when the immune system fails to recognise the bodies own tissues and cells as “self” and instead mounts an immune response against them as if they were ...

Immunotherapy for advanced melanoma induces serologic and clinical manifestations of autoimmunity. We assessed the prognostic significance of autoimmunity in patients with stage IIB, IIC, or III ...

Dendritic cells, the microbe-sensing alarms of the immune system, can send out a "red alert" to stimulate immunity, or a "calm down" message that tones down excessive immunity that might damage the ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for certain cancers comes with important side effects such as cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Use ...

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 ...

Autoimmunity as a component in dementia An international research group led by Finnish scientists has identified several new risk factors for dementia-causing diseases. The group found strong evidence ...
