Why are prions and amyloid structures immune suppressive and other intriguing questions facing neuroimmunologists in the future
L Steinman - Revue neurologique, 2014 - Elsevier
The immune system plays a major role in certain diseases of the brain like multiple sclerosis
and neuromyelitis optica, while the brain may play a major role in modulating certain
immunologic diseases of the periphery like inflammatory bowel disease. The most
significant developments in neuroimmunology will involve explorations of the roles for the
immune system in neurodegenerative conditions often associated with the presence of
amyloid deposits. Here I present my personal perspectives on four of the most intriguing …
