Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Are Increased in Lung Transplant Recipients and Regulated by Immunosuppressive Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Lung transplantation remains as a primary treatment for end-stage lung diseases. Although remarkable improvement has been achieved due to the immunosuppressive protocols, long-term survival for lung transplant recipients (LTR) is still limited.

A mutation in caspase-9 decreases the expression of BAFFR and ICOS in patients with immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Lymphocyte apoptosis is mainly induced by either death receptor-dependent activation of caspase-8 or mitochondria-dependent activation of caspase-9. Mutations in caspase-8 lead to autoimmunity/lymphoproliferation and immunodeficiency. This work describes

Autoimmune Epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2019
The field of autoimmune epilepsy has evolved substantially in the last few decades with discovery of several neural autoantibodies and improved mechanistic understanding of these immune-mediated syndromes. A considerable proportion of patients with epilepsy of unknown etiology have been demonstrated to have an autoimmune cause.

MALT1 proteolytic activity suppresses autoimmunity in a T cell intrinsic manner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
MALT1 is a central signaling component in innate and adaptive immunity by regulating NF-kappa B and other key signaling pathways in different cell types. Activities of MALT1 are mediated by its scaffold and protease functions.

Identification of commensal gut microbiota signatures as predictors of clinical severity and disease progression in multiple sclerosis

open access: yesScientific Reports
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults. Clinical presentation and disease course are highly heterogeneous. Typically, disease progression occurs

Fresh Insights into Disease Etiology and the Role of Microbial Pathogens. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Pathogens have been implicated in the initiation and/or promotion of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc); however, no evidence was found to substantiate the direct contribution to this disease in past years.

Comparison of Five Assays for the Detection of Anti-dsDNA Antibodies and Their Correlation with Complement Consumption

open access: yesDiagnostics
Background: Anti-dsDNA is an important biomarker for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although several assays for anti-dsDNA antibody detection are routinely used, standardization remains limited, and ...

Pro‐inflammatory dopamine‐2 receptor‐specific T cells in paediatric movement and psychiatric disorders

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2020
Objectives A dysregulated inflammatory response against the dopamine‐2 receptor (D2R) has been implicated in movement and psychiatric disorders. D2R antibodies were previously reported in a subset of these patients; however, the role of T cells in these ...

The Emerging Jamboree of Transformative Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Standard treatments for autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders rely mainly on immunosuppression. These are predominantly symptomatic remedies that do not affect the root cause of the disease and are associated with multiple side effects ...
