Abstract

Translational research aims at closely linking basic research and clinical observations so that important mechanistic insights identified in one field should trigger progress in the other. Particularly in the field of pediatric rheumatology this approach has significantly improved the understanding and therapy of several diseases in recent years. One focus of our research in this respect is on the structure, release mechanisms and function of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMP), particularly S100 proteins. Due to their huge potential as inflammation biomarkers for more specific diagnostics these proteins are of particular clinical interest. Overactivated cells of the innate immune system play a crucial role in the development of rheumatic diseases. Innate mechanisms, such as the generation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETosis) were linked to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, it became increasingly more evident that various excessive sterile inflammatory mechanisms and reactions significantly contribute to an activation of adaptive immune responses and thus to the development of autoimmunity. Studying such potentially DAMP-dependen...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
