Atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, and vascular-associated lymphoid tissue.
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease induced by the effects of various risk factors on appropriate genetic backgrounds. It is characterized by vascular areas containing mononuclear and proliferating smooth muscle cells,as well as extracellularmatrix (ECM)2 components resulting in hardening and thickening (arteriosclerosis) of the arterial wall. In a strict sense, atherosclerotic lesions ...
متن کاملThe mechanisms behind helminth's immunomodulation in autoimmunity.
The incidence of autoimmune diseases has risen throughout the last half a century, mostly in the industrialized world. Helminths and their derivatives were found to have a protective role in autoimmunity and inflammatory conditions, as they manipulate the immune network, attenuating the host's cellular and humoral responses. Indeed, various helminth species used in several human and animal mode...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
Immunomodulation by immunopeptides and autoantibodies in aging, autoimmunity, and infection.
The operation of the immune system is a complex orchestration of specific self and non-self-recognition capacities mediated by cells of the innate system acting in coordination with T and B lymphocytes in a series of processes modulated by cytokines. We provide evidence for a natural immunomodulatory system involving autoantibodies directed against a controlling segment of T cell receptor Vbeta...
متن کاملLiver Diseases and Autoimmunity
Based on the principal clinical and pathological features, autoimmune diseases can be broadly divided into localized (involving only a single organ or tissue) and systemic (involving multiple organs). The liver is a lymphoid organ that not only participates in the immune response, but also a target of autoimmune reactions. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary ...
