Oxidative Signaling in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
The article by Johnson et al. on the role of antioxidant signaling pathways in a model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) merits further discussion. This group hypothesized that alterations in oxidative signaling may be involved in the development of EAE and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Emodin attenuates inflammation and demyelination in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Emodin, a substance extracted from herbs such as rhubarb, has a protective effect on the central nervous system. However, the potential therapeutic effect of emodin in the context of multiple sclerosis remains unknown.

A Role for the Intestinal Microbiota and Virome in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)? [PDF]
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a heterogeneous disorder of significant societal impact that is proposed to involve both host and environmentally derived aetiologies that may be autoimmune in nature. Immune-related symptoms

Interferon Lambda Signaling Restrains Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
IFN-λ is a type III interferon (IFN) with pleiotropic functions in modulating immune responses. To address its function in autoimmune neuroinflammation, we evaluated the development and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) in IFNLR1 ...

Macrophage-targeted PEGylated liposomes ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Macrophages are the predominant immune cell type found in active multiple sclerosis (MS) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) lesions, where they contribute to demyelination and axonal damage. Depending on the lesion stage, these cells can

Tolerance without clonal expansion: Self-antigen-expressing B cells program self-reactive T cells for future deletion [PDF]
B cells have been shown in various animal models to induce immunological tolerance leading to reduced immune responses and protection from autoimmunity.
