What is Autoimmune Disease?
- AUTOIMMUNE VS AUTOINFLAMMATORY DISEASE
  
  A Comparative Look
  
  Autoimmune disease (AD) and autoinflammatory disease (AIF) are two categories of illnesses that occur when the immune system mistakenly damages healthy cells. Although these inflammatory disorders share many commonalities, there are key features that make them unique.

Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of the Pfizer Vaccine Amongst 686 Patients with Autoimmune Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases

June 16, 2021

Israel has been a model for vaccination success against COVID-19, with over 56% of the country being fully vaccinated. On Monday, June 13, Israeli researchers published the findings of the largest observational prospective study confirming the immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety of the Pfizer vaccine amongst 686 patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD).

Treating MIS-C with Phase 3 Celiac Drug

June 15, 2021

Even after a COVID-19 infection has passed, SARS-CoV-2 particles may linger in the gut and make their way into the bloodstream. This often triggers a cytokine storm and hyper-inflammatory response (MIS-C) within multiple areas of the body. These include the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, and GI organs.

Targeted COVID Therapy: What Can we Learn From Autoimmune Kidney Diseases?

June 10, 2021

A study was recently published on the ability of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) to bind to the “EPCR-LBPA” complex. Antiphospholipid antibodies are autoantibodies that target and attack phospholipid-binding proteins. This, researchers found, initiates a self-amplifying signaling loop related to the innate immune complement and coagulation pathways.

Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaccine Found to be Associated with Small Risk of Developing Rare Autoimmune Blood Disorder

June 9, 2021

A new study, published today in Nature, has reported the observance of a slightly increased risk of developing immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) following inoculation with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. ITP is a rare autoimmune condition that results in excessive bruising or bleeding due to a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood.
