    Naturally Occurring Autoantibodies to Apoptotic Cells

    Subsets of IgM naturally occurring autoantibodies (NAbs) bind to the cell surface membranes of dying cells. The antibodies predominantly have specificities against lipid antigens or oxidized lipids. Chief amon...

    Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase deficiency causes a bone dysplasia with autoimmunity and a type I interferon expression signature

    Yanick Crow and colleagues show that mutations in ACP5, which encodes tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, cause spondyloenchondrodysplasia, a bone dysplasia with autoimmunity. The affected individuals had elevat...

    IL-1α responds to necrotic cell death

    Necrosis induces inflammation, but how necrotic cells signal to immune cells was poorly understood. New work by Chen et al. shows that IL-1α acts as a mediator, translating a signal from the necrotic cells to ind...
