Novel aspects of autoimmunity.
Major scientific advances often arise at the interface of disciplines or are made possible by transformative technological advances. Progress in our understanding of the basis of autoimmunity over recent years provides great examples of this, and we have selected four of these to highlight in this ICB Special Feature. Autoantibodies provided the first detectable evidence of autoimmunity and the...
متن کاملCurrent status and future perspectives: TSPO in steroid neuroendocrinology.
The mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO), previously known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), has received significant attention both as a diagnostic biomarker and as a therapeutic target for different neuronal disease pathologies. Recently, its functional basis believed to be mediating mitochondrial cholesterol import for steroid hormone production has been refuted by studie...
متن کاملThe role of metals in autoimmunity and the link to neuroendocrinology.
Current available literature indicates a risk for metal-induced autoimmunity in man. Metal pathology may be due to toxic or allergic mechanisms where both may play a role. The main factors decisive for disease induced by metals are exposure and genetics which determine the individual detoxifying capacity and sensitivity to metals. This paper reviews the possible mechanisms which may play a role...
متن کاملCurrent research on the behavioral neuroendocrinology of reptiles.
Selected reptilian species have been the targets of investigations in behavioral neuroendocrinology for many years. Reptiles offer a particularly powerful set of traits that facilitate comparisons at multiple levels, including those within and between individuals of a particular species, between different environmental and social contexts, as well as across species. These types of studies, part...
