IIG seminar - Neutrophils: acute responders in chronic inflammatory diseases
Dr. Kaplan's research has focused on identifying mechanisms of immune dysregulation, organ damage, and premature vascular disease in systemic autoimmunity. More specifically, she investigates how innate immunity (in particular, type I interferons and myeloid cells) promote autoimmune responses and end-organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other systemic autoimmune diseases. Recently, her research has focused on identifying abnormalities of neutrophil subsets, aberrant myeloid immunometabolism and the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic autoimmune disorders and chronic...

Protective and Pathogenic B Cell Responses: COVID-19 and Autoimmunity
Dr. Sanz's research interest is in understanding how the immune system goes awry in autoimmune diseases and ends up attacking our own tissues rather than concentrating on fighting infections. In particular, he is very interested in understanding the roles played in autoimmune diseases by B cells and their effector progeny, the plasma cells responsible for producing the autoantibodies that in many cases cause the disease. His research concentrates on systemic lupus erythematosus, but he is also investigating other autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. His work also has app...

2019 Demystifying Medicine Lecture- Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges
Please join us for the next Demystifying Medicine lecture, " Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges, " by Ronald Germain, M.D., Ph.D. (NIAID) and James Katz, M.D. (NIAMS) on April 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Building 50 conference room, first floor. CME credit is available.
Autoimmunity refers to a system of immune responses gone awry, tantamount to an attack against the body's own healthy cells and tissues with painful and often fatal consequences. This enemy within manifests itself in myriad ways, from targeted attacks (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis leading to debilitating joint damage) to multi...

Acting as white blood cell decoys, " nanosponges " alleviate and prevent rheumatoid arthritis in mouse
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed "nanosponges" that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Injections of these nanosponges effectively treated severe rheumatoid arthritis in two mouse ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

B cells in Autoimmune diseases: Focus on Sj ö gren's Syndrome
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Rounds
B cells play a complex role in the development of systemic autoimmune diseases, especially in primary Sj ö gren's syndrome, a progressive condition that damages saliva and tear glands and leads to dry mouth, dry eyes, and other symptoms. Dr. Jacques-Olivier Pers will outline growing evidence that regulatory B lymphocytes (Breg) may blunt the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune disease, and thus may be potential targets for treatment. Studies of distinct B cell subsets that play differing roles in autoimmune diseases are providing new insights into Breg development and immune...

A Bacterial Cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Rounds
Understanding the mechanisms which initiate immune responses to autoantigens is of high priority. Significant data implicates mucosal surfaces, specifically the periodontium, the gut, and the lungs, as sites of disease initiation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins. In recent studies, we identified Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), a pathogen associated with chronic and aggressive periodontitis, as a candidate bacterial trigger of autoimmunity in RA. Aa secretes a toxin, leukotoxin A (LtxA), w...

The development and Function of Regulatory T cells
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Dr. Chen ’ s research focuses on elucidating mechanisms of T-cell immunity and tolerance and manipulating T-cell immunity versus tolerance in animal models to understand the pathogenesis of and develop immunotherapy for autoimmunity, cancer and infectious diseases. Among his many scientific contributions to biomedical research, Dr. Chen is the first to discover that TGF-beta induces Foxp3 gene in naive CD4+ T cells and converts them into regulatory T cells (iTregs, pTregs). The paper describing this finding has been cited for more than 4000 times. He has also demonstrated that TGF...
