Discovery of Immune Defect by Chicago Researchers Could Lead to Lupus Cure
Jul 11, 2024, 01:00 AM
Researchers have identified a molecular defect in the immune system that may be the root cause of lupus, a life-threatening condition. This discovery, described as a 'molecular switch' or 'naturally occurring seesaw,' could potentially reverse the harmful immune response and lead to new treatments or a cure for the autoimmune disorder. The breakthrough was made by scientists from Northwestern Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Chicago researchers, pointing to a future where the immune cells driving lupus damage could be turned into beneficial cells, thereby saving tissue and preventing the immune system from attacking the body.
