Autoimmunity to hypocretin and molecular mimicry to flu in type 1 narcolepsy
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance This work shows that the amidated terminal ends of the secreted hypocretin (HCRT) peptides (HCRTNH2) are autoantigens in type 1 narcolepsy, an autoimmune disorder targeting HCRT neurons.

Molecular Mimicry as a Mechanism of Autoimmune Disease [PDF]
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology, 2011 A variety of mechanisms have been suggested as the means by which infections can initiate and/or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. One mechanism is molecular mimicry, where a foreign antigen shares sequence or structural similarities with self-antigens. Molecular mimicry has typically been characterized on an antibody or T cell level. However, structural

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Inflammasome Molecular Insights in Autoimmune Diseases
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyAutoimmune diseases (AIDs) emerge due to an irregular immune response towards self- and non-self-antigens. Inflammation commonly accompanies these conditions, with inflammatory factors and inflammasomes playing pivotal roles in their progression.

Machine Learning‐Enabled Polymer Discovery for Enhanced Pulmonary siRNA Delivery
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study provides an efficient approach to train a machine learning model by merging heterogeneous literature data to predict suitable polymers for siRNA delivery. Without the need for extensive laboratory synthesis, the machine learning enabled a virtual screening and successfully predicted a polymer that is validated for effective gene silencing in
