HSP60 and SARS-CoV-2: Les Liaisons Dangereuses Simple Summary This review examines the role of heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) in COVID-19, highlighting its impact on immune modulation, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Hsp60, a chaperone protein essential for protein folding and...

Post-COVID-19 immune dysregulation and autoimmune sequelae Abdel-Moneim, Ahmed S.; Al-Balushi, Mohammad S.; Al-Jabri, Ali A. Highlights SARS-CoV-2 infection can induce persistent immune dysregulation : hyperinflammation, lymphopenia, and innate–adaptive imbalance. Molecular mimicry, bystander...

Adenoviral Inciting Antigen and Somatic Hypermutation in VITT BACKGROUND Vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT) is a rare prothrombotic complication that occurs after adenoviral vector–based vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019; in rare cases, it can also occur...

Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs when the central nervous system (CNS) is damaged by misguided adaptive immune responses, likely caused by a combination of environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. A known prerequisite for disease is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)...
