First-ever drug to repair DNA and regenerate damaged tissue is here

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new class of therapeutics that can fix tissue damage that occurs through heart attack, inflammatory disease and other conditions.

This kinda sucks.

Stanford Medicine scientists tie lupus to a virus nearly all of us carry

Stanford Medicine scientists tie lupus to a virus nearly all of us carry

The Epstein-Barr virus can convert B cells it’s infected into diabolical overlords that reprogram myriad other immune cells to attack our tissues, Stanford Medicine scientists have found.

Yesterday I had a really bad day. I had an extreme bout of intestinal inflammation, a spike in antibodies, and hypomania with aggression. I slept very little and poorly last night, and this morning I had hallucinations.
This is what my life can be like sometimes, when the complications of three autoimmune diseases, bipolar syndrome, autism, and food intolerances come together.

Der Mann hat was neues für #Lupus gefunden - oder wie @kabalak selbst sagen würde:

In conclusion, this study uncovers a new dimension of immune crosstalk: a proteolytic plasma network that generates immunoactive fragments with intrinsic self-regulatory capabilities to modulate #inflammation and tissue injury in complex disease contexts. Deciphering these immunoactivities may pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in complement-driven pathologies, potentially benefiting a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Nobel Prize in Medicine for Discoveries in Immune Regulation

Agreed, Tregs & Foxp3 could really change the game, finally.

Nobel Prize in Medicine for Discoveries in Immune Regulation

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their groundbreaking work on immune tolerance, specifically the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These cells act as the immune system's 'security guards,' preventing it from atta... [More info]
