Study reveals new insights into how the immune system prevents autoimmunity

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, and the Hospital for Special Surgery Research Institute have uncovered new details about how the immune system prevents the production of antibodies that can recognize and damage the body's own, healthy tissues.

Early viral exposure in mice weakens vaccine response, raising questions for human studies

Researchers at Washington University have demonstrated that early life exposure to multiple viruses in house mice dampens the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations later in life. The study raises concerns about the applicability of common mouse models in immunological research, suggesting that prior pathogen exposure could be a significant variable in predicting vaccine efficacy.

New oral agent shows promise in treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma

A new agent that subverts myeloma cells from within while also subjecting them to an immune system attack produced impressive responses in combination with dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma that had relapsed and stopped responding to all currently available therapies, a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and around the world has found.

Novel antibody could be safer and more effective than existing treatments for autoimmune diseases

Researchers have shown that a novel antibody generated to target an 'essential amino acid sequence' of both interleukin-17A and F has greater activity and potentially fewer side effects than existing biological therapies for conditions such as as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
