UCSF researchers discover how the immune system may play a role in miscarriage Researchers at UC San Francisco are zeroing in on how the immune system may play a role in miscarriage, which affects about a quarter of pregnancies. Working in mice, the researchers have found that a recently discovered subset of cells in the immune system may prevent the mother's immune system from attacking the placenta and fetus. If the research is confirmed in further animal studies, and the cells play a similar role in people, they could point the way toward new therapies for pregnancies that are threatened b...
Researchers have discovered the genes involved in autoimmune Addison's disease -- a condition where the body's immune systems destroy the adrenal cortex leading to a life-threatening hormonal deficiency of cortisol and aldosterone.According to ...
