The role of molecular mimicry in the etiology of Guillain Barré Syndrome [PDF]
Makedonsko Farmacevtski Bilten, 2011 Molecular mimicry between host tissue structures and microbial components has been proposed as the pathogenic mechanism for triggeringof autoimmune diseases by preceding infection.

Interference in melanoma CD248 function reduces vascular mimicry and metastasis
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2022 Background Tumor vascular mimicry is an emerging issue that affects patient survival while having no treatment at the current moment. Despite several factors implicated in vascular mimicry, little is known about stromal factors that modulate tumor ...

eLife, 2022 Membrane contact sites (MCS) are crucial for nonvesicular trafficking-based interorganelle communication. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–organelle tethering occurs in part through the interaction of the ER resident protein VAP with FFAT motif-containing ...

Is COVID-19 a proteiform disease inducing also molecular mimicry phenomena?
Cell stress & chaperones (Print), 2020 It is evident that COVID-19, the disease due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (commonly abbreviated SARS-CoV-2) etiological agent, is not uniquely a respiratory disease, at least in a subset of patients.

Molecular mimicry: Can epitope mimicry induce autoimmune disease? [PDF]
Immunology & Cell Biology, 1997 Mimicry of host antigens by infectious agents may induce cross‐reactive autoimmune responses to epitopes within host proteins which, in susceptible individuals, may tip the balance of immunological response versus tolerance toward response and subsequently lead to autoimmune disease. Epitope mimicry may indeed be involved in the pathogenesis of several

Immobilization by surface conjugation of cyclic peptides for effective mimicry of the HCV-envelope E2 protein as a strategy toward synthetic vaccines [PDF]
, 2018 Mimicry of the binding interface of antibody-antigen interactions using peptide-based modulators (i.e. epitope mimics) has promising applications for vaccine design.
