A molecule made by #Streptococcus #pyogenes β€” the #bacterium that causes #strep throat β€” could help explain the origins of enigmatic #autoimmune diseases such as #rheumatic fever and #lupus. Findings illuminate why century-old #cancer #immunotherapies showed promise and why modern immune therapies for cancer don’t work as often as they could.

Strep Molecule Illuminates Cancer Immune Therapies

Insights could help scientists manipulate the immune system to treat cancer or certain autoimmune diseases.

βœ… Very happy to report that I will attend #EULAR2023 onsite in Milan as a @EULAR_org invited speaker πŸ‘ Let's meet there and fast-forward the care of #rheumatic diseases.
