Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) directed to proteinase 3 (PR3) represent highly established markers for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). PR3-ANCA have also demonstrated utility in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (

Kinase inhibition in autoimmunity and inflammation
Despite recent advances in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, unmet medical needs in some areas still exist. One of the main therapeutic approaches to alleviate dysregulated inflammation has been to target the activity of kinases that

STIM1 at the plasma membrane as a new target in progressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Background Dysregulation in calcium (Ca2+) signaling is a hallmark of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). While the role of the B cell receptor (BCR) Ca2+ pathway has been associated with disease progression, the importance of the newly described ...

dcHiC detects differential compartments across multiple Hi-C datasets
The organisation of mammalian genomes plays a role in many biological processes. Here the authors report dcHiC, a tool which uses a multivariate distance measure to identify changes in compartmentalisation among multiple genome-wide chromatin contact ...

Background The airway epithelium is a major target tissue in respiratory infections, and its antiviral response is mainly orchestrated by the interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF3), which subsequently induces type I (β) and III (λ) interferon (IFN ...

Pathogenic mechanisms of IgE-mediated inflammation in self-destructive autoimmune responses
Autoantibodies of the IgG subclass are pathogenic in a number of autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythomatosus. The presence of circulating IgE autoantibodies in autoimmune patients has also been known for almost 40 years.

Stochastic effects in autoimmune dynamics [PDF]
Among various possible causes of autoimmune disease, an important role is played by infections that can result in a breakdown of immune tolerance, primarily through the mechanism of "molecular mimicry". In this paper we propose and analyse a stochastic model of immune response to a viral infection and subsequent autoimmunity, with account for the ...

Past, Present, and Future of Regulatory T Cell Therapy in Transplantation and Autoimmunity
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important for the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance therefore, they are key in preventing excessive immune responses and autoimmunity. In the last decades, several reports have been focussed on understanding

Effects of viral and cytokine delays on dynamics of autoimmunity [PDF]
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
