Autoimmunity and Autoimmune Diseases in the Elderly
2009In the majority of papers dealing with immune system changes, higher prevalence of autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases among elderly people is stressed as one of the factors confirming the changes of immune system function in aging. This statement is repeated for a very long time and most of the authors treat it as a “stone-carved” truth.

Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmunity Reviews, 2017The association between autoimmunity and cancer is well established. Cancer has been implicated in some autoimmune disorders (AID), such as scleroderma and myositis. On the other hand, many autoimmune disorders and immunosuppressive therapy, have been linked to an increased risk for cancer.

Autoimmunity in Neuromuscular Disease
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1987SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSA number of confounding factors can be identified from the search for autoimmune mechanisms over the last 2 decades that may be relevant for future studies. (1) An apparently homogeneous clinical disorder may represent more than one disease process and thereby imply antibody/antigen heterogeneity as, for example, in MG with and ...

Autoimmunity in Endocrine Disease
Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1974Publisher Summary Many examples of the organ-specific autoimmune group of disorders are included among the endocrine diseases. The grouping together of the autoimmune endocrinopathies is clearly seen in patients with idiopathic Addison's disease, in contrast to the absence of it in patients with adrenal destruction from other causes, such as ...

Ménière's Disease and Autoimmunity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997Identifying the etiopathogenesis of MtniBre’s disease (MD) has been the object of several studies since Prosper MCnikre first described the main symptoms of this disease in 1861 : fluctuating hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. Endolymphatic hydrops is considered the main pathological finding associated with MD and a good deal of research has been ...

Apoptosis and autoimmune diseases
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Every day billions of cells die in our bodies to eliminate those that are harmful, useless, or senescent. The process can be divided into two steps: cell dying and cell clearance. In the first step, death machinery is activated in the cells and quickly kills them.

Immunoregulation of Autoimmune Diseases
Human Immunology, 2006Since the discovery of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) as a genetic system, the search for the biological function of HLA molecules has been a very intense and attractive area of immunological research. It has been a major factor in the development of our understanding of the role of T cells in the initiation and regulation of autoimmune diseases.

Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Disease
2001The term autoimmunity signifies the presence of specific memory-type immune reactions that are directed against one or more self-epitopes. Under most conditions, autoimmunity is determined in terms of immunoglobulins that react with either unknown or well-defined human antigens.
