Do Cindy,s comments on genetic change in coeliac disease point to a different diagnostic process? Genetic rather than histological or biochem? Fascinating. But how does this manifest in the elderly who also present with coeliac diagnosis?
Richard K. Gershon (1932-1983) Dr. Richard K. Gershon, professor of pathology, immunology and biology at the Yale University School of Medicine and a leader in the exploration of the immune system, died of lung cancer Monday at his home in New Haven. He was 50 years old. Dr. Gershon, who began teaching at Yale in 1964, was also chief of the medical school's division of immunology and director of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute of Cellular Immunology at Yale. His advances in research on the immune system were likened to the visualization of the other side of the moon in that they demonstrated a second side of the response that had not been known. He showed that the introduction of an antigen into the body produced not only the immunological attack on the antigen but also the participation of cells that try to prevent or suppress the immune response. Work on Tumors and Hepatitis Dr. Gershon's earlier work concentrated on tumor biology and research into the spread of cancer. Through studies done in Japan and South Korea, he contributed to the understanding of viral hepatitis. Dr. Gershon was born in Brooklyn. He graduated from Harvard University in 1954 and received a medical degree from Yale in 1959. He later studied also in Paris and London. He was the author of more than 200 papers, books and reviews and was editor in chief of the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Immunology. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1980 and this year won both the Gardner Foundation International Award for Outstanding Discoveries in Medical Science and the George Thorn Award for Outstanding Medical Research.
Amazing fascinating these conversations. But Not easy to follow for someone who does not know the field -- so much to translate, concepts and vocabulary to learn. It seems that the more one knows about the Immune System, the less one knows_ but the better the questions ? Love your keen passion & curiosity at work here: great! Thanks
What a team. Restores our confidence in how the understanding of this complex area is developing. Good to see you all working together. Thank you.

This was a great podcast loved all involved wath a great insight into the immune system, 👏
I love hearing how you guys think. Fascinating. Thx you for this insight.
