Researchers have designed a protein that could keep the immune system in balance and prevent disease like arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

"...targeting Piezo1 might be a new and ideal strategy to cure MS while preserving the immune system's ability to fight new infections."

A new study links defective epithelial barriers to a rise in almost two billion allergic, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric diseases.

Foods like nuts, avocados, and olive oil are rich in a fatty acid called oleic acid. New research suggests it could help some multiple sclerosis patients.

"Climate change has worsened respiratory allergic disease and has altered the immune system's tolerance in responding to toxins," says Xue Ming.

New research in mice shows that a huge number of immune cells can kickstart autoimmune diseases, which counters assumptions.

People with autoimmune diseases like psoriasis or lupus have a 2 to 8 times greater risk of heart attack. Now, scientists are beginning to understand why.
