Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sharon M Wahl"
- Sharon M Wahl's recent research primarily focuses on the interplay between immune responses and autoimmune diseases, particularly in conditions like Sjögren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, exploring mechanisms involving APOBEC family members and inflammatory responses.
- Wahl has investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in immune regulation and lung injury, contributing to the understanding of its involvement in both protective and pathological processes, including its effect on neutrophil extracellular trap formation.
- Her studies also extend to infectious diseases, examining immune mechanisms in HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis and the response of macrophages to Mycobacterium avium complex, highlighting the challenges in host defense during opportunistic infections.
