متن کاملApoE and Aβ in Alzheimer’s Disease: Accidental Encounters or Partners?
Among the three human apolipoprotein E (apoE) isoforms, apoE4 increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

متن کاملInfections and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Binding or Sparring Partners?
Extensive work on experimental animal models clearly demonstrates that infectious agents can break immunological tolerance to self-antigens and induce autoimmune disorders, mainly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The establishment of a causative link between infections and autoimmunity has been largely studied in a host of clinical studies, proving the role of infectious agents in the induct...
