International team of researchers has identified DNA mutations in a gene that senses viral RNA, as a cause of the autoimmune disease lupus.

HT had a rare mutation in the DCLRE1C or Artemis gene, meaning he had Artemis-SCID – the most serious of primary immunodeficiencies.

One of the most common autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and breaks down healthy tissue

Researchers have developed an experimental vaccine that shows significant promise in preventing rheumatoid arthritis which cannot be cured.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease which causes inflammation in organs and joints, affects movement and the skin, and causes fatigue.

Protein-based vaccine shows significant promise in preventing rheumatoid arthritis and improving bone quality suggesting long-term benefits.

People who consume sugar and other carbohydrates in excess over a long period of time have an increased risk of autoimmune diseases.

In recent years, scientists have developed monoclonal antibodies, proteins that mimic the body’s own immune defenses.
