Ageing, defence mechanisms and the immune system.

Studies of the ageing immune system (immuno gerontology) can be traced back to the early part of this century (and even earlier), and the literature has burgeoned in the last three decades. Perhaps the first publication was of the invest...

Approaches to therapy against prion diseases focused on the individual defence system

Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders for which no effective treatment is available to date. Misfolded protein as aetiological agent is currently the most accepted theory. This review is focused on the hypothesis that the main basis of the progress of these disorders might fall on the individual defence system. Host protective response could convert into the early cellular event that t...
