LUPUS

Lupus, formally known as Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a chronic autoimmune disorder that occurs when the body’s own defenses, the immune system, attacks the body by mistake. Discover how regenerative research and therapy is making advancements in treating Lupus.

Stem Cell Therapy Shows Early Promise for the Treatment of Lupus

Reviews 2022 body of scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy to treat rheumatic disease highlights the potential benefits of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) – a type of stem cell – for the treatment of lupus.

Clinical Study Evaluates Stem Cells as Potential Lupus Preatment

This Phase II study of mesenchymal stem cells is an early step in determining whether stem cell treatments hold promise as a safe, effective alternative for people with lupus who do not benefit from current treatments.

Kaleidoscope Fighting Lupus

This article explains the potential of stem cell therapies in lupus treatment, focusing on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This article discusses how MSCs can help repair damaged tissue and modulate the immune response, particularly for patients with severe or refractory lupus. Although the FDA has not yet approved stem cell therapy for lupus, ongoing clinical trials are promising

RECENT STUDIES

Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell-Based Therapies in Systemic Rheumatic Disease Including Lupus

Systemic rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis, are chronic autoimmune diseases affecting multiple organs and tissues. Despite recent advances in treatment, patients still experience significant morbidity and disability.

Using CAR T cells to treat lupus

People with lupus know there’s no cure for their condition. Treatment options usually include medications to prevent flare-ups and manage symptoms, but nothing to effectively control the disease progression. However, researchers at UC Davis Health want to change that, as they are striving to improve the quality of life for people living with lupus through a novel clinical trial evaluating CAR T-cell therapy as a treatment for the autoimmune disease.

Association Study of 3-untranslated region Haplotype of Human leukocyte antigen-G Gene with Lupus

Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a pivotal protein involved in immune regulation and tolerance, while systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Research indicates that variations and mutations in HLA-G may impact SLE development.
