Link Between Vitamin D And Multiple Sclerosis
kavin submitted, created time 2 months 2 weeks (www.medicalnewstoday.com)
Vitamin D, the principal regulator of calcium in the body, may prevent the production of malignant cells such as breast and prostate cancer cells and protect against specific autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS) according to an article by Sylvia Christakos, PhD, of the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School.
In the article, Christakos reports that research shows that the incidence of MS decreases as the amount of vitamin D available to the body increases, either through sunlight exposure or diet 
Putting Immunity in a Test Tube

To streamline vaccine research and hasten the eradication of global killers, such as AIDS, VaxDesign company has created a simulated human immune system, called the Modular Immune in Vitro Construct (MIMIC for short). The dime-sized immune systems can predict how humans will respond to new vaccines.

Roquin gene played a vital role in preventing the immune system from attacking friendly cells. It suppresses the production of antibodies that target the body's tissues, to keep us safe from our own molecular weaponry.
This artical is abuot why Roquin gene can suppress autoimmune iease.This research opened up the possibility of using RNA interference, or the microRNAs themselves, in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Recently, a new lineage of CD4+ T cells has been described in the mouse that specifically secretes IL-17 [T helper (Th) 17]. This discovery has led to a revision of the hypothesis that many autoimmune diseases are predominantly a Th1 phenomenon and may instead be critically dependent on the presence of Th17 cells.
Risk genes for multiple sclerosis uncovered

Using a whole-genome association scan, an international consortium of scientists has found genetic variations in multiple sclerosis patients, findings that suggest a possible link between MS and other autoimmune diseases.
Antibody-altering protein found in developing B cells

AID is an antibody-altering protein, originally thought to be made only by mature B cells and in the developing B cells of transgenic mice. Researchers at Tufts University report that AID is also made by developing B cells in wild-type, or normal, mice. This may offer a new direction for research into autoimmune diseases.
Green Tea May Help Prevent Autoimmune Diseases

Researchers studied an animal model for type I diabetes and primary Sjogren's Syndrome, which damages the glands that produce tears and saliva. They found significantly less salivary gland damage in a group treated with green tea extract, suggesting a reduction of the Sjogren's symptom commonly referred to as dry mouth. Dry mouth can also be caused by certain drugs, radiation and other diseases.

"In a study appearing in the March 22 New England Journal of Medicine, scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health抯 National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) have discovered a connection between a specific gene and the inflammatory skin condition vitiligo, as well as a possible host of autoimmune diseases."
A Dinucleotide Deletion in CD24 Confers Protection against Autoimmune Diseases
penguin submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (genetics.plosjournals.org)
The scientists investigated the significance of polymorphisms in the human gene CD24 and the susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We used cases/control studies to determine the association between CD24 polymorphism and the risk of MS and SLE. And their results demonstrate that a destabilizing dinucleotide deletion in the 3′ UTR of CD24 mRNA conveys significant protection against both MS and SLE.
Researchers at Children's Discover Connection between Allergic Diseases and Autoimmune Diseases

A new study by researchers at Children’s and the University of Washington (UW) identifies a connection between allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, and autoimmune diseases.

Have you been tortured by the arthritis as the weather changes? Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, are complex disorders characterized by an inflammatory response against the body's own tissues. Recent findings reveal new insights into how these diseases are initiated and progress and the factors that contribute to their clinical symptoms. Such work also pinpoints potential new therapeutic targets including the integrated stress response, cadherins, and Wnt signaling.
