The elimination of autoreactive T cells in the thymus involves the process of programmed cell death. Animal model studies, using the lpr and gld strains of mice, have identified FAS receptor (FAS) and FAS ligand (FAS-L) as important components of this mechanism. Whether FAS and FAS-L are also implic

Objective: Autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is associated with circulating autoantibodies reactive with epitopes on thyroid tissue and that are thought to be pathogenic in the development of these diseases. Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) are a family of immunoglobulins that recognize a variety o
The Role Of Epigenetic Mechanisms In Autoimmune Disease Is Only Now Starting To Become Clear. Understanding These Mechanisms, Their Effect On Cellular Function And The Role Of Environmental Factors Is Vital To Determining How To Manage These Often Debilitating And Fatal Diseases. drawing On The Res
