Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Gliozzi"
Maria Gliozzi's research primarily focuses on autoimmune diseases, especially Sjögren's syndrome, examining the intricate immune responses and pathological mechanisms that lead to glandular damage and systemic manifestations.
Her studies highlight the role of specific immune cell populations, such as Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes, and their interactions with macrophages in exacerbating inflammatory conditions, particularly in Sjögren's syndrome.
Additionally, Gliozzi investigates factors such as secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in tumor invasion and the modulation of innate host factors by pathogens like Mycobacterium avium complex, contributing to the understanding of both autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases in immunocompromised individuals.
