The potential role of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (Active vitamin D 3 ) in modulating macrophage function; implications for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (2025)
Journal Article

Macrophages play an important role in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and repair, displaying remarkable plasticity by polarising towards pro-inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), this r...

Potential molecular mimicry between the human endogenous retrovirus W family envelope proteins and myelin proteins in multiple sclerosis (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 European Federation of Immunological Societies Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease caused by the destruction of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. The major target molecules for the immune response are the myelin basic pr...
