Vitamin D study sheds light on immune system effects

Vitamin D causes dendritic cells to produce more CD31, hindering the activation of T cells. The study sheds light on how vitamin D deficiency regulates the immune system and can lead to autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis.

‘Reelin’ in a New Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

Decreasing the amount of Reelin significantly protected against disease symptoms and promoted recovery in symptomatic animal models of multiple sclerosis. Reelin levels appear to correlate with MS severity and stages. Researchers report lowering levels of the protein could be a potential avenue of treatment for the autoimmune disorder.

Researchers pinpoint genes behind sex biases in autoimmune disorders and schizophrenia

A new study reveals why women are more likely to develop autoimmune conditions like lupus and Sjögren's syndrome, and men are more likely to develop schizophrenia. Researchers implicated the C4 gene in sex-based risk factors for autoimmune and psychiatric disorders.

ATP From Sensory Neuron-Interneuron Crosstalk Is Key to Spreading Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis

In rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in one joint is transmitted to other joints via the sensory neuron connections in the spinal cord, leading to inflammation in the other joints. Inflammation in one joint led to an increase in ATP in other joints, which triggered an increase of a signaling molecule that resulted in inflammation. Blocking the pathway reduced the spread of inflammation.

Pregnancy Can Delay Onset of Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms by Three Years

Women who have been pregnant were diagnosed with their first multiple sclerosis symptoms, on average, 3.3 years later than women with MS who had never become pregnant.

The gut may be involved in the development of multiple sclerosis

Increased levels of Smad7 in T-cells is linked to multiple sclerosis-like symptoms in mice. In the intestines, the T-cells were more frequently activated and migrated to the central nervous system, where they triggered inflammation. Similar activation was seen in human patients with multiple sclerosis. The findings provide further evidence that multiple sclerosis may start in the intestines and spread via the CNS.
