Autoimmune Disease: an illness that causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack normal body tissues. When your body attacks itself, It sees part of your body as a disease and tries to combat it.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health threat, affecting over 10% of the world population, including an estimated 37 million Americans. Importantly, glomerular diseases account for...
T cells are the adaptive immune system’s first responders to any virus, circulating in the blood to detect and quickly multiply to attack the virus, and also support the development of...
The microbiome has emerged as a major contributor to human health and disease. Numerous sources implicate shifts in the gut microbiome as potentially pathologic for a variety of autoimmune d...
As a response to various inflammatory stimuli, neutrophils and macrophages expel a mixture of their nuclear and granular elements in the form of extracellular traps (ETs). These web-like sub...
Background: Acute liver injury (ALI) is characterised by hepatocyte death and liver inflammation. Macrophages play a pivotal role in ALI by phagocytosing dead cells and producing pro-regener...
