Targeting Disease-Causing Cells: RheumMadness 2022 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Scouting Report
CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies may have the potential to treat rheumatic diseases in which current therapeutic options are limited, such as lupus, interstitial lung disease and systemic sclerosis.
What’s the Role of Epstein-Barr Virus Reactivation in Lupus Development?
A strong association between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been known since the 1970s. Although the etiology of SLE is not fully established, multiple genetic factors and polymorphisms in genes involved in the immune system have been implicated, with environmental factors also contributing to the development of this complex condition….
RheumPAC Hosts Rep. Kim Schrier, MD, for Legislative Update
RheumPAC donors attended a virtual legislative update and Q&A with former pediatrician Rep. Kim Schrier, MD (D-Wash.), to gain an insider’s view of current healthcare legislation.
How Autoimmune & Non-Autoimmune Family Conditions Predict Rheumatoid Arthritis
New research has incorporated confounders, such as smoking, to build a clearer picture of family-related factors that may help predict who will develop rheumatoid arthritis…
Study Implicates Epstein-Barr Virus in 7 Autoimmune Diseases
The identification of specific transcription factors linked to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) provides new information on the molecular mechanisms underlying the link between EBV and autoimmune disease. A recently published study, “Transcription Factors Operate Across Disease Loci, with EBNA2 Implicated in Autoimmunity,” co-led by John B. Harley, MD, PhD; Leah C. Kottyan, PhD; and Matthew…
When Immunodeficiency & Autoimmunity Coexist
CHICAGO—Although rare, when a patient has both primary immune deficiency and autoimmune disease, the combination can lead to life-threatening complications requiring careful, long-term therapy. In When Immune Deficiency and Autoimmunity Coexist, a session at the 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, M. Eric Gershwin, MD, the Jack and Donald Chia professor of Medicine and chief of Rheumatology,…
Case Report: Lymphocytic Vasculitis of the Central Nervous System
Vasculitis is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases in which the blood vessel is the target of an immune reaction. They can be secondary to connective tissue disease, idiopathic or due to infection, neoplasm or drugs.1 Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare syndrome characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis…
When Immunodeficiency & Autoimmunity Coexist
When a patient has both primary immune deficiency and autoimmune disease, the combination can lead to life-threatening complications. Here are some insights into the challenges of diagnosing and treating this rare subset of patients…
Genetic Discoveries Pave New Pathways to the Origins of Rheumatic Diseases
New research has provided a never-before-seen view of the genetic activity that may be used to map the polygenic nature of common rheumatic diseases. Two recent studies have employed distinct approaches to identify the non-coding gene variants, digging deep into human genetic data to uncover the mechanism of rheumatic diseases…
