Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease2 wherein skin cells tend to build up quickly on the surface, eventually causing scaling and inflammation in the form of pain, swelling, heat and redness.

Immune system may mount an attack in Parkinson’s disease
Immune system may mount an attack in Parkinson’s disease NIH-funded study suggests role for specific immune cells in brain disease. Immune system may wage a battle in brain disorders: An image of a T cell from a healthy person. NIAID A new study suggests that T cells, which help the body’s immune system recognize friend fromContinue reading “Immune system may mount an attack in Parkinson’s disease”
Effect of Drugs and Alcohol on the Immune System
Effect of Drugs and Alcohol on the Immune System The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against disease, infection and viruses. If this system is damaged, reduced or does not work as efficiently as it should, a person will become sick with illness from infections orContinue reading “Effect of Drugs and Alcohol on the Immune System”
Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection
Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/cix609 Abstract Background: Translocation of microbial products from the damaged gut causes increased immune activation in HIV. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) predispose to bacterial overgrowth in the gut.Continue reading “Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with increased microbial product translocation, innate immune activation, and reduced immunologic recovery in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection”

Reproductive and immune effects of chronic corticosterone treatment in male White’s treefrogs, Litoria caerulea
Amphibian populations are declining globally. The potential contribution of glucocorticoid hormones to these declines has received little attention, but chronic elevation of glucocorticoids has been linked to a suite of negative outcomes across vertebrate taxa. Corticosterone-treated frogs demonstrated a significant decrease in circulating eosinophils, which are immune cells implicated in fighting a variety of pathogens,Continue reading “Reproductive and immune effects of chronic corticosterone treatment in male White’s treefrogs, Litoria caerulea”
Reduced immune function predicts disease susceptibility in frogs infected with a deadly fungal pathogen
The relationship between amphibian immune function and disease susceptibility is of primary concern given current worldwide declines linked to the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We experimentally infected lowland leopard frogs (Lithobates yavapaiensis) with Bd to test the hypothesis that infection causes physiological stress and stimulates humoral and cell-mediated immune function in the blood. WeContinue reading “Reduced immune function predicts disease susceptibility in frogs infected with a deadly fungal pathogen”
Early exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation decreases immune function later in life
Amphibians have declined dramatically worldwide. Many of these declines are occurring in areas where no obvious anthropogenic stressors are present. It is proposed that in these areas, environmental factors such as elevated solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation could be responsible. These data demonstrate that early UV-B exposure can have carry-over effects on later life-history traits evenContinue reading “Early exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation decreases immune function later in life”
Researchers connect brain blood vessel lesions to intestinal bacteria
NIH-funded pre-clinical study links gut microbes and the immune system to a genetic disorder that can cause stroke and seizures. A study in mice and humans suggests that bacteria in the gut can influence the structure of the brain’s blood vessels, and may be responsible for producing malformations that can lead to stroke or epilepsy.Continue reading “Researchers connect brain blood vessel lesions to intestinal bacteria”
