Glossary Antigen Presentation

process where immune cells display foreign substances to T-cells

Antigen presentation is a crucial process in the immune system where certain cells, called antigen-presenting cells (APCs), capture and display foreign substances (antigens) on their surface. This display helps T-cells recognize and respond to these antigens, initiating an immune response to fight off infections or diseases.

research 865 Frontal fibrosing alopecia is associated with dysregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis pathways, fibrosis and mast cells

April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia involves distinct molecular changes, such as downregulation of steroid and cholesterol pathways and upregulation of fibrotic and immune response genes, which may help guide treatment strategies.

research Parental Uveitis Influences Offspring With an Increased Susceptibility to the Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis

3 citations , June 2020 in “Frontiers in Immunology”

This mouse study found that offspring of parents with uveitis showed increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune uveitis, potentially due to altered immune and cellular processes.

research Functional Interpretation of Genome-Wide Association Study Evidence in Alopecia Areata

55 citations , October 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Alopecia areata is linked to immune-related genes, suggesting JAK inhibitors as a potential treatment.

research Genome-Wide Association Study of Alopecia Areata in Taiwan: The Conflict Between Individuals and Hair Follicles

1 citations , September 2023 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology”

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

research Quiescent Tissue Stem Cells Evade Immune Surveillance

169 citations , February 2018 in “Immunity”

In this study, researchers found that quiescent stem cells resist immune attack due to downregulated antigen presentation, which may help explain the immune evasion of early cancer-initiating cells.
