Newly Found Disease Links Disruptions of Blood Formation, Immune System and Inflammation

In the quest to find the origin of the puzzling symptoms in four children, researchers from St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute, the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), and the Medical University of Vienna have discovered a completely new disease, linking disruptions of blood formation, the immune system, and inflammation.

Pentamer shape of C-reactive protein can suppress the immune response in inflammatory disease

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE, an inflammatory disease.

Researchers track a specialized garbage disposal cell inside lymph nodes for the first time

For almost 140 years, the origin and behavior of an enigmatic cell type inside lymph nodes, called a tingible body macrophage, has remained a mystery.

Researchers discover how pancreatic cells remodel themselves to reduce the immune response in patients at risk for T1D

Scientists have observed for the very first time that insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are attacked by T lymphocytes during the evolution of Type 1 Diabetes.

Study reveals how autoimmune antibodies can predict severe cases of COVID-19

The presence of special immune system defense molecules, called autoimmune antibodies, has been strongly tied to how poorly people fare when hospitalized with COVID-19, a new study shows.

SARS-CoV-2 may induce long-term autoimmune disorder due to self-glycan antibody production

A new study indicated that many of the unusual symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infections may be due to induced autoimmune responses.

Study shows antibody levels drop rapidly in recovering COVID-19 patients

The lack of effective treatments for COVID-19 is forcing hospitals to use blood plasma from recovering patients to treat those who have severe symptoms.

19 Oct 2020

Severe cases of COVID-19 resemble systemic lupus erythematosus

Scientists from Emory Health Sciences have been observing an intense stimulation of immune cells in severe cases of COVID-19 disease. This activation of immune cells is similar to acute flares of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)—an autoimmune disease.

Study shows neo-self antibody as major cause of recurrent pregnancy loss

A research group centered around Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine's Professor YAMADA Hideto and Associate Professor TANIMURA Kenji (Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology), and Professor ARASE Hisashi et al. of Osaka University's Research Institute for Microbial Diseases have revealed for the first time in the world the high frequency of a novel autoantibody in women suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss.
