Disorders of the immune system can result in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases and cancer, according to the NIH. Immunodeficiency occurs when the immune system is not as strong as normal, resulting in recurring and life-threatening infections, according to the University of Rochester Medical ...
The devastating effects of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other conditions that suppress or destroy the immune system are cases in point (see below The causes of disease: Diseases of immune origin). The immune response is a relatively recent evolutionary development found only in ...

indications from hematologic diseases to metabolic and muscle disorders [31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. Many of these approaches rely on traditional gene therapy vectors, including AAV. Based on the successful preclinical study by Maeder et al. [37], the first CRISPR-Cas9 in vivo gene therapy, ...
such as the type of maternal activation (e.g. infection vs. chronic diseases such as autoimmunity, or asthma), the timing (i.e. early vs. late gestation), the duration (short vs. episodic/continuous exposures), and severity of the MIA, to produce differential behavioural outcomes in males...
KI researchers have shown that white blood cell composition in people is unique, and that the composition of these cells may predict the immune system's response to various forms of stimulation. The study paves the way for more individualised treatment of diseases involving the immune system, lik...
The gut microbiota influences development1–3 and homeostasis4–7 of the mammalian immune system, and is associated with human inflammatory8 and immune diseases9,10 as well as responses to immunotherapy11–14. Nevertheless, our understanding of how gut b
Aging is a major risk factor for several conditions including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Functional impairments in cellular pathways controlling genomic stability, and immune control have been identified. Biomarker of immune senescence is needed to improve vaccine response and to ...
"It's essential that we have both an innate immune response that provides an immediate and front line of defense, but we also have protection against an overreaction by the immune system, which is what you see in sepsis and some autoimmune or degenerative diseases," Gombart said. "This is...
Some of the same mutations allowing humans to fend off deadly infections also make us more prone to certain inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn's disease. In a Review published November 27 in the journalTrends in Immunology, researchers describe how ancestral origins impact the like...
