Roles of GM-CSF in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Diseases: An Update. [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was first described as a growth factor that induces the differentiation and proliferation of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow.

Variant of TYR and Autoimmunity Susceptibility Loci in Generalized Vitiligo. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND Generalized vitiligo is an autoimmune disease characterized by melanocyte loss, which results in patchy depigmentation of skin and hair, and is associated with an elevated risk of other autoimmune diseases. METHODS To identify generalized

MicroRNA in autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases

open access: yesJournal of Autoimmunity, 2009
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small conserved non-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by targeting the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for degradation or translational repression.

Autoimmune Disease Genetics [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Genetic risk factors play an important role in autoimmune disease susceptibility. Recent advances genotyping techniques, statistical methods, and the organization of large patient cohorts have facilitated explosive progress in this field, and our understanding of the genetic architecture of human autoimmunity is rapidly expanding.

Eosinophils in Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that contribute to initiation and modulation of inflammation. Their role in asthma and parasitic infections has long been recognized. Growing evidence now reveals a role for eosinophils in autoimmune diseases.

Does vitamin D play a role in autoimmune endocrine disorders? A proof of concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the last few years, more attention has been given to the "non-calcemic" effect of vitamin D. Several observational studies and meta-analyses demonstrated an association between circulating levels of vitamin D and outcome of many common diseases ...

Celiac Disease Autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesArchivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis, 2018
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, the protein fraction of wheat, barley and rye. It is not simply an intestinal disease; it is multifactorial caused by many different genetic factors acting together with non-genetic causes.

Electrosmog and autoimmune disease [PDF]

open access: yesImmunologic Research, 2016
Studies in mice have shown that environmental electromagnetic waves tend to suppress the murine immune system with a potency similar to NSAIDs, yet the nature of any Electrosmog effects upon humans remains controversial. Previously, we reported how the human Vitamin-D receptor (VDR) and its ligand, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D (1,25-D), are associated with ...
