SELECTED SCIENTIFIC WORK

Research & publications

Selected co-authored work exploring immune function, autoimmunity, and the factors that shape health.

A closer look at the evidence

The publications below are selected examples of work co-authored by Elroy Vojdani. Each links to its publication record so readers can check the authors, methods, findings, and disclosures.

Reviews summarize and interpret existing work. Laboratory studies examine biological mechanisms. Observational studies identify patterns and associations. None of those designs, on its own, proves that a clinical program produces a particular patient outcome.

Infection, autoimmunity & persistent symptoms

2025 / OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

HHV-6 and EBV reactivation in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: Disability, progression, and inflammation links

Almulla AF, Vojdani A, Zhang Y, Vojdani E, Maes M. iScience. 2025;28(8):113048.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2025.113048

Compared viral antibody responses and immune profiles in 58 people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and 60 controls. Associations with disability and inflammation raise questions for further study; the design does not demonstrate that antiviral treatment improves multiple sclerosis.

2025 / CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Dysregulated autoantibodies targeting AGTR1 are associated with the accumulation of COVID-19 symptoms

Fonseca DLM, Jäpel M, Gyamfi MA, et al. NPJ systems biology and applications. 2025;11(1):7.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.1038/s41540-025-00488-z

Examined relationships between autoantibodies and symptoms in 244 individuals. Anti-AGTR1 antibodies were associated with greater symptom accumulation. These associations do not, by themselves, establish causation or a treatment strategy for long COVID.

2023 / REVIEW

Persistent SARS-CoV-2 Infection, EBV, HHV-6 and Other Factors May Contribute to Inflammation and Autoimmunity in Long COVID

Vojdani A, Vojdani E, Saidara E, Maes M. Viruses. 2023;15(2):400.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.3390/v15020400

Discusses proposed contributors to long COVID, including persistent viral material, latent virus reactivation, immune dysregulation, and changes in the gut microbiome. It brings together hypotheses and available evidence rather than reporting a clinical treatment trial.

2021 / LABORATORY STUDY

Reaction of Human Monoclonal Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 Proteins With Tissue Antigens: Implications for Autoimmune Diseases

Vojdani A, Vojdani E, Kharrazian D. Frontiers in immunology. 2021;11:617089.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.617089

Tested whether antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 proteins reacted with human tissue antigens in laboratory assays. The findings support further investigation of immune cross-reactivity; they do not establish an individual patient’s diagnosis or predict vaccine or treatment safety.

Environmental influences & autoimmunity

2022 / REVIEW

The Role of Exposomes in the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases II: Pathogens

Vojdani A, Vojdani E, Rosenberg AZ, Shoenfeld Y. Pathophysiology. 2022;29(2):243-280.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.3390/pathophysiology29020020

Examines potential relationships among pathogens, the microbiome, and autoimmune responses, including molecular mimicry. This is a review of mechanisms and existing research, not proof that a particular infection caused a patient’s autoimmune disease.

2021 / REVIEW

The Role of Exposomes in the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases I: Toxic Chemicals and Food

Vojdani A, Vojdani E. Pathophysiology. 2021;28(4):513-543.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.3390/pathophysiology28040034

Explores how environmental exposures and dietary factors may interact with immune function. Its discussion of mechanisms should not be read as evidence that removing a particular food or exposure will reverse an autoimmune condition.

2020 / REVIEW

Interaction between food antigens and the immune system: Association with autoimmune disorders

Vojdani A, Gushgari LR, Vojdani E. Autoimmunity reviews. 2020;19(3):102459.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2020.102459

Reviews oral tolerance, food antigens, and proposed links with autoimmune responses. It identifies questions for further research and does not establish a universal elimination diet or validate a particular food-testing strategy for every patient.

Immune cell function

2024 / REVIEW

Natural Killer Cells and Cytotoxic T Cells: Complementary Partners against Microorganisms and Cancer

Vojdani A, Koksoy S, Vojdani E, Engelman M, Benzvi C, Lerner A. Microorganisms. 2024;12(1):230.

Co-author: Elroy Vojdani · DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12010230

Examines the complementary roles of natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells in defense against microorganisms and cancer. It provides scientific context for immune function; it does not validate a single immune-resilience score or demonstrate treatment outcomes.

From research to a clinical conversation

Scientific publications are one part of medical decision-making. The relevance of a finding depends on the patient, the quality of the evidence, and the question being asked. These selected papers are not presented as clinical validation of Regenera Medical’s program.
