The Autoimmune Ecology [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Las enfermedades autoinmunes (EA) representan un grupo heterogéneo de trastornos que afectan a órganos diana específicos o a múltiples sistemas de órganos. Estas afecciones comparten mecanismos inmunopatógenos comunes (es decir, la tautología autoinmune), que explican las similitudes clínicas que tienen entre ellas, así como su agrupación familiar (es ...

Targets of Neutrophil Influx and Weaponry: Therapeutic Opportunities for Chronic Obstructive Airway Disease

Journal of Immunology Research, 2017
Neutrophils are important effector cells of antimicrobial immunity in an acute inflammatory response, with a primary role in the clearance of extracellular pathogens.

Environmental factors associated with juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy clinical and serologic phenotypes

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2022
Background Environmental exposures have been associated with the juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM). We undertook a questionnaire-based study to evaluate patient-reported exposures as possible risk factors for JIIM.

PBMC fixation and processing for Chromium single-cell RNA sequencing

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background Interest in single-cell transcriptomic analysis is growing rapidly, especially for profiling rare or heterogeneous populations of cells. In almost all reported works investigators have used live cells, which introduces cell stress during ...

Molecular mimicry, genetic homology, and gene sharing proteomic “molecular fingerprints” using an EBV (Epstein-Barr virus)-derived microarray as a potential diagnostic method in autoimmune disease [PDF]

, 2018
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) and other human DNA viruses are associated with autoimmune syndromes in epidemiologic studies. In this work, immunoglobulin G response to EBV-encoded proteins which share regions with human immune response proteins from the human

Clinical Factors Associated with Time-Specific Distribution of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose in Large-Vessel Vasculitis

Scientific Reports, 2019
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) can detect vascular inflammation in large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). Clinical factors that influence distribution of FDG into the arterial wall and other tissues have not been characterized in

Acute cigarette smoke exposure activates apoptotic and inflammatory programs but a second stimulus is required to induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition in COPD epithelium

Respiratory Research, 2017
Background Smoking and aberrant epithelial responses are risk factors for lung cancer as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

CD45 pre-exclusion from the tips of T cell microvilli prior to antigen recognition

Nature Communications, 2021
CD45 limits T cell activation, so its exclusion from the T cell immunological synapse is thought to occur as a means to enable TCR signalling. Here the authors use a variety of cellular imaging methods to show that CD45 is indeed excluded from the tips ...

Low-Dose Rapamycin Unmasks the Protective Potential of Targeting Intragraft NF-κB for Islet Transplants

Cell Transplantation, 2013
Islet grafts can contribute to their own destruction via the elaboration of proinflammatory genes, many of which are transcriptionally regulated by nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-κB).
