Immunology

Autoimmune diseases are conditions where the immune system attacks the body organs instead of foreign invaders.

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the occurrence of antibodies reacting with self-constituents of the body.

Aegean Conferences is an independent, nonprofit, educational organization directed and managed by the scientific community.

Innate immunity is one the most evolutionally conserved systems, designed to protect the organism from viruses and bacterial infections, stress and many other types of attacks from the outside world.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily is a rapidly growing family of cytokines that interacts with a corresponding superfamily of receptors.

Avoiding infection has always been expensive.

In 1772 in Uppsala the Swedish chemist Karl Wilhelm Scheele discovered the element Oxygen.

Complement has long been regarded as a pivotal effector arm of the innate immune response, eliciting important immunoregulatory functions in the context of inflammation and also serving as a vital link between the innate and adaptive immune response.

I have always been interested in chemistry and biology.

A particular issue for biopharmaceuticals that has not been addressed comprehensively in any book, is the potential of an immune response to the biopharmaceutical product.

Up until approximately 20 years ago, the idea that the central nervous system (CNS) and components of the immune system were dynamically interactive was considered impossible (or at least highly unlikely) as the CNS was judged an immunosuppressive environment based upon experimental evidence highlighting the survival of tissue grafts within the brain.
