"Big Eater" Cells May Prevent Autoimmune Response
A Lupus Research Institute (LRI) scientist, Dr. Tracy McGaha and his team at Georgia Health Sciences University in Augusta, have discovered a new pathway that helps prevent the immune system from mistaking dying cells as a potential threat.
While cell death is a healthy part of our body's renewal and repair, dying cells in lupus trigger the immune system to mount a devastating attack on cell components.
Read MORE about how harnessing this discovery could lead to developing new treatment to prevent destructive immune responses in lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
