With advanced data analysis and machine learning, scientists have identified a set of COVID-19-derived molecular mimics that ...

Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify the viral proteins that may trigger autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Scientists have replicated the luxurious mouthfeel of foie gras using the liver and fat of ducks reared and slaughtered ...

A screen of human-infecting viruses identified extensive examples of viral proteins that resembled human sequences, which ...

COVID infection has been linked to higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.

For example, molecular mimicry between a pathogen-derived antigen and a host antigen might directly induce immune cell cross-reactivity with host antigens. In contrast, inflammatory and ...

Despite EBV’s potential to cause disease, there are few therapeutic options and no licensed vaccines targeting the virus.

Based on the molecular mimicry hypothesis, the team identified 17 microbialpeptides very similar to insulin B:9-23. Testing them in immune cells obtained from type 1 diabetes patients, they identified ...

Study finds antibodies that target Epstein-Barr virus proteins can also attack proteins in the brain, increasing the likelihood of MS.

COVID infection has been linked to a higher risk of autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.
