New York scientists have come up with a new way to measure electric signals in the major nerve running from the head to the abdomen — a discovery that could improve diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory diseases like lupus. The team at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research used mice to do…
Researchers at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have launched a clinical trial to evaluate the potential of a small electronic device in relieving pain in lupus patients. “Lupus is a painful disease, notoriously hard to diagnose and difficult to treat – new treatment options are desperately needed,” Cynthia…
Researchers are learning how signals about disease-related inflammatory activity are sent from the body to the brain — insight that could lead to manipulating nerves to treat autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus. A team at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York discovered that different immune…
Kevin J. Tracey, MD, CEO and president of The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, is the winner of the Frederik B. Bang Award for his work on controlling inflammation in the treatment of diseases such as a lupus. Bestowed by The International Endotoxin and Innate Immunity Society (IEIIS) as its highest…
