, 2016 Up to 50% of patients with autoimmune diseases show an impairment of health-related quality of life and exhibit depression-like symptoms. The immune system not only leads to inflammation in affected organs, but also mediates behavior abnormalities including fatigue and depression-like symptoms.

The role of tunable activation thresholds in the dynamics of autoimmunity [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 308, 45-55 (2012), 2012 It has been known for some time that human autoimmune diseases can be triggered by viral infections. Several possible mechanisms of interactions between a virus and immune system have been analysed, with a prevailing opinion being that the onset of autoimmunity can in many cases be attributed to "molecular mimicry", where linear peptide epitopes ...

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2004 Most humans depend on sun exposure to satisfy their requirements for vitamin D. Solar ultraviolet B photons are absorbed by 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin, leading to its transformation to previtamin D3, which is rapidly converted to vitamin D3. Season,

Increased prevalence of autoimmune disease within C9 and FTD/MND cohorts
Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, 2016 Objective: To determine the prevalence of autoimmune disease in symptomatic C9ORF72 (C9) mutation carriers and frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease (FTD/MND) cohorts. Methods: In this case-control study, we reviewed the clinical histories of
