Evidence of autoimmunity's origins uncovered via new approach: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A study supports the idea that some T cells that react to microbes also may react to normal human proteins, causing autoimmune disease. The findings promise to accelerate efforts to improve diagnostic tools and treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Study explores how common immune cells might prevent intestinal healing
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Karolinska Institutet researchers have demonstrated that B lymphocytes, on which the efficient operation of the immune system depends, can occasionally cause more harm than good since their numbers sharply increase following intestinal trauma, impeding the healing process.

Research finds how common immune cells can prevent intestinal healing
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
B cells are critical to the proper functioning of the immune system. However, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that they can sometimes do more harm than good, as their numbers greatly increase after bowel damage, preventing the tissue from healing. The results, which are prese

Study: CAR T cell therapy reaches beyond cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Engineered immune cells, known as CAR T cells, have shown the world what personalized immunotherapies can do to fight blood cancers. Now, investigators have reported highly promising early results for CAR T therapy in a small set of patients with the autoimmune disease lupus. Penn Medicine C

Discovery suggests new way to target mantle cell lymphoma
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma is critically dependent on a protein that coordinates gene expression, such that blocking its activity with an experimental drug dramatically slows the growth of this lymphoma in preclinical tests, according to a study from Weill Cornell M

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.
