Could Blood Stem Cells Hold the Key to Lupus Relapses?

Research from the University of Colorado suggests that blood stem cells may retain a “memory” of autoimmune disease, potentially contributing to lupus flare-ups. The findings, published in Cell Stem Cell by Eric Pietras, PhD, and Angelo D’Alessandro, PhD, explore how stem cell metabolism might be a target for new treatments.
Evaluating Long-Term Outcomes of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Refractory Crohn’s Disease

Over a median follow-up of two years, 75% demonstrated endoscopic response, and no long-term transplant-related complications were observed.
