Genetic variant identified as potential predictor for severe ulcerative colitis
The HLA-DRB1*01:03 genetic variant is associated with severe ulcerative colitis, significantly raising the risk of major surgeries and hospitalizations.
New discovery could change autoimmune therapy landscape
Researchers have discovered a family of enzymes that work to reduce IgG-mediated pathologies in diseases like MG. The findings, involving mouse models, show that a specific enzyme (an endoglycosidase called CU43) was particularly effective in treating those diseases caused by overactive antibodies.
Scan based on lizard saliva detects rare tumor
A new PET scan reliably detects benign tumors in the pancreas, according to new research. Current scans often fail to detect these insulinomas, even though they cause symptoms due to low blood sugar levels. Once the tumor is found, surgery is possible.
