Autoimmune disease

A newly-discovered role for an immune regulator in T cells may help unravel the molecular basis of inflammatory bowel disease and serve as a promising therapeutic target.

When parts of a bacteria’s cell wall enter into circulation, its host experiences more severe autoimmune reactions.

Discovery of which monocytes secrete a pro-inflammatory protein could lead to new therapies for autoimmune disease

Variations in the genome of immune cells underlie differences in our individual predisposition to several diseases
