T Cells Recognize Recent SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Due to the proofreading ability of the coronavirus (CoV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the evolution of the global SARS-CoV-2 viral population during the current pandemic has been relatively constrained as compared to other endemic RNA viruses that do not possess this ability. More...

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Metabolic Changes in Lupus Patients

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is the most common type of lupus. SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. More...

Circulating Calprotectin as Biomarker in Neutrophil-Related Inflammation

Calprotectin (CLP) acts as an endogenous ligand of different cell-surface proteins like Toll-like receptor 4 and receptor of advanced glycation end-products facilitating a local proinflammatory effect. CLP is mostly secreted through an active, calcium-dependent Protein Kinase C (PKC) pathway, next to the passive leakage from necrotic cells and release in neutrophil extracellular traps (NET).

Type 1 Diabetes Onset Preceded by Gene Expression Changes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from insufficient insulin production and is thought to result from an immune reaction against the body’s own pancreatic β cells. The exact cause of T1D remains unknown, although asymptomatic islet autoimmunity lasting from weeks to years before diagnosis raises the possibility of intervention before the onset of clinical disease.
