Innate Immune Sensor of Microbial Proteolysis Revealed
The human immune system can quickly recognize and respond to bacterial infections, but sometimes this reaction can become skewed, leading to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. In this case, a person's own immune system attacks "self" proteins instead of just foreign invaders. More...01 Sep 2016
Latent Toxoplasmosis Prevalence Analyzed Retrospectively
Primary maternal infection with Toxoplasma gondii during pregnancy can lead to prenatal infection of the unborn child, and vertical diaplacental transmission of Toxoplasma can seriously damage the embryo. Some prenatally infected children, asymptomatic at birth, can develop retinochorioiditis and other sequelae months or years later. More...01 Sep 2016
