A New Approach to Autoimmune Diseases
Eugene Russo | May 4, 2003 | 8 min read
D.F. Dowd Nearly one hundred years ago, two German scientists introduced the concept of autoimmune disease;1 it didn't catch on. Indeed, even the investigators themselves were skeptical. To most immunologists, the notion that people might develop immune reactions to their own bodies seemed counterintuitive, even preposterous. "People were very, very reluctant to accept the idea," says Noel Rose, director of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Autoimmune Disease Research and a long-time ex

Crohn's: An Autoimmune or Bacterial-Related Disease?
Maria Anderson | Aug 19, 2001 | 8 min read
In 1996 geneticist Gilles Thomas and colleagues at the INSERM, the French Institute for Health and Medical Research in Paris, reported that IBD1, a region on the long arm of chromosome 16, was a Crohn's disease susceptibility locus.1 Five years later, in a second study, they announced that they had pinpointed the exact gene. The researchers contended that the connection between Crohn's and NOD2, the implicated gene located in IBD1, provided evidence to support the hypothesis that the disease is
