Enterovirus Antibodies Detected in Acute Flaccid Myelitis Patients

Neurotropic enteroviruses (EVs), such as poliovirus, have long been associated with paralytic disease. Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has caused motor paralysis in more than 560 children in the United States since 2014. More...

Signature for Beta-Cell Autoimmunity Predicts Type 1 Diabetes

The appearance of Type 1 diabetes (T1D)-associated autoantibodies is the first and only measurable parameter to predict progression toward T1D in genetically susceptible individuals. More...

Image: Follicular helper T-cells (cells with green surface markers) interact closely with B-cells (cells with orange surface markers) to facilitate the proliferation of B- cells and the production of high affinity antibodies. The interaction site is shown in yellow, DNA in blue (Photo courtesy of Joyce Hu, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology).

Specialized White Blood Cells Prove Biomarkers for Diabetes Progression

Researchers have found that a specialized class of circulating white blood cells (CXCR5−PD-1hi Tph cells) are associated with progression for autoantibody positivity to clinical type I diabetes and have the potential to serve as biomarkers to monitor progression of this disease. More...
