Autoimmunity may be generated by a variety of factors by creating a hyper-stimulated state
of the immune system. It had been established long ago that viruses are a substantial …

The review aims to consolidate research findings on the molecular mechanisms and
virulence and pathogenicity characteristics of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) causative …

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) represent an emerging global crisis. However,
quantifiable risk factors for PASC and their biological associations are poorly resolved. We …

Background There are a growing number of case reports of various autoimmune diseases
occurring after COVID-19, yet there is no large-scale population-based evidence to support …

There is growing evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to a
dysregulation of the immune system with the development of autoimmune phenomena. The …

Vaccinations are one of the most important preventive tools against infectious diseases.
Over time, many different types of vaccines have been developed concerning the antigen …

We sought to determine whether immune reactivity occurs between anti-SARS-CoV-2
protein antibodies and human tissue antigens, and whether molecular mimicry between …

Background Autoimmunity has been reported in patients with severe coronavirus disease
