Is atherosclerosis an autoimmune disease? [PDF]
BMC Medicine, 2014 Immunologic research into pathogenic mechanisms operating in autoimmune-mediated atherosclerosis initially focused on adaptive immunity. Current interest is directed to more basic inflammatory mechanisms. Chronic inflammation (innate immunity-associated) may trigger initial events that can lead to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Effects of viral and cytokine delays on dynamics of autoimmunity [PDF]
Mathematics 6, 66 (2018), 2018 A major contribution to the onset and development of autoimmune disease is known to come from infections. An important practical problem is identifying the precise mechanism by which the breakdown of immune tolerance as a result of immune response to infection leads to autoimmunity. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of immune response to a

Sex Hormones in Acquired Immunity and Autoimmune Disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Women have stronger immune responses to infections and vaccination than men. Paradoxically, the stronger immune response comes at a steep price, which is the high incidence of autoimmune diseases in women. The reasons why women have stronger immunity and

Association of Stress-Related Disorders With Subsequent Autoimmune Disease
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2018 Importance Psychiatric reactions to life stressors are common in the general population and may result in immune dysfunction. Whether such reactions contribute to the risk of autoimmune disease remains unclear.

Vitamin D, Autoimmune Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Calcified Tissue International, 2019 Vitamin D has been reported to influence physiological systems that extend far beyond its established functions in calcium and bone homeostasis. Prominent amongst these are the potent immunomodulatory effects of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25 ...

Autoimmune Disease in Women: Endocrine Transition and Risk Across the Lifespan
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Women have a higher incidence and prevalence of autoimmune diseases than men, and 85% or more patients of multiple autoimmune diseases are female. Women undergo sweeping endocrinological changes at least twice during their lifetime, puberty and menopause,
