Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system, but is also a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that engages innate immune sensors when released into the cytoplasm, outside of cells or into circulation. As a DAMP, mtDNA not...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223021612 Summary: Many autoimmune disorders exhibit flares in which symptoms erupt and then decline, as exemplified by multiple sclerosis (MS) in its relapsing-remitting form. Existing mathematical models of autoimmune flares often...

Highlights • Chronic inflammation can be caused by organelle (e.g., mitochondria) malfunction. • Dysfunctional mitochondria release DAMPs that trigger inflammation through PRRs. • Salivary cells’ mitochondria show ultrastructural alterations in Sjögren’s syndrome. • Endoplasmic reticulum...

If those numbers are reliable this is a borderline epidemic level crisis. Nearly 1/5 of the UK population reporting significant cognitive symptoms interfering with daily life but are typically brushed off by medicine. The worldwide numbers would place this at above 1B. That's staggering...

The main idea of the theory proposed is that in pre-modern times women were pregnant a lot of the time and the placenta was signaling the immune system to be chill. Now that women get pregnant much less, there is no longer that feedback from placentas that kept the immune system in check and...
