A team led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center recently revealed new insights into the mechanisms underlying the development of autoimmunity in animal models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study was recently published in the journal Cell Reports and is…
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have published an article entitled “Genome-wide transcriptional profiling data from skin of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) patients”, in the journal Data in Brief, concerning their findings on the genetic differences between lupus patients with skin involvement…
In a recent study presented during the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Annual European Congress of Rheumatology, patients suffering from moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who have been treated with Benlysta have a low incidence of organ damage. SLE, commonly referred to as lupus, is a severe autoimmune disease in which…
