Researchers give more insight into development of lupus in females
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
For many years, healthcare professionals have known that lupus, an autoimmune disease, affects women nine times more than males. Some of the variables that contribute to the disease's high incidence in women have remained unknown, but Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have found answers in

Exposure to broccoli sprouts protects against colitis in bowel disease
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The researchers investigated the interactions between mice and their immune systems, as well as the broccoli sprout diet, microbes within the Crohn's-afflicted gut, and how those microbes would use an inactive compound in the broccoli sprouts to make an anti-inflammatory compound in the gut.
