A constant rate of DNA damage that is not perfectly repaired will cause a constant rate of DNA mutations. The chance of mutation will increase if DNA is prone to damage, such as occurs in somatic hypermutation (SHM) hotspots and GC‐rich DNA. Thus, if one mutation‐prone DNA site drives disease, the age of onset of disease and degree of penetrance should

High prevalence of bronchiectasis is linked to HTLV-1-associated inflammatory disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), a retrovirus, is the causative agent of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

The Immunopathogenesis of uveitis
Uveitis encompasses a heterogeneous group of intraocular inflammatory disorders and remains a leading cause of preventable visual loss. Its immunopathogenesis reflects the interplay between a uniquely regulated ocular environment and triggers that breach

Low Dose Rapamycin Exacerbates Autoimmune Experimental Uveitis
Rapamycin, a potent immune modulator, is used to treat transplant rejection and some autoimmune diseases. Uveitis is a potentially severe inflammatory eye disease, and 2 clinical trials of treating uveitis with rapamycin are under way. Unexpectedly, recent research has demonstrated that low dose rapamycin enhances the memory T cell population and ...
