autoimmune disease

The majority of immune-mediated disease (IMD) risk loci are located in non-coding regions of the genome, making it difficult to decipher their functional effects in relevant physiological contexts. To assess the extent to which alternative splicing contributes to IMD risk, we mapped genetic...

Many disease-associated variants are thought to be regulatory but are not present in existing catalogues of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). We hypothesise that these variants may regulate expression in specific biological contexts, such as stimulated immune cells. Here, we used human...

Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system, but is also a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that engages innate immune sensors when released into the cytoplasm, outside of cells or into circulation. As a DAMP, mtDNA not...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223021612 Summary: Many autoimmune disorders exhibit flares in which symptoms erupt and then decline, as exemplified by multiple sclerosis (MS) in its relapsing-remitting form. Existing mathematical models of autoimmune flares often...
