RUDN biochemists described a new mechanism for autoimmunity suppression

(RUDN University) RUDN biochemists suggested a new mechanism following which a human body prevents the development of autoimmune diseases (i.e. conditions caused by the damaging influence of the immune system on a body's own organs and tissues), allergies, and implant rejection. It turned out that regulatory T-cells are able to suppress the reproduction of autoimmune cells. The work was published in the Molecular Immunology journal.
