Possible Lupus treatment breakthrough from Monash University Australia 😁 - Still in research phase but looking good ?

[Freckle1000]

Hi. I'm from Victoria - Australia.

Monash University, connected to Monash Medical centre Melbourne - seems to have pulled off a potential Lupus treatment breakthrough. It's just hit the mainstream news media here and there's a lot of excitement online.

PRMpro who's responded below has provided a sucessful link to their article. ( I haven't mastered links to this site )

Thankyou PRMpro !

What do you think ?

Some good news ?

Here is the link to the press release

If you add a note to your post that everyone will see that the link is in the first comment - so people know to look if they aren't up to searching themselves ...

Hello PRMpro. 👋Good to say hello again.

Thanks for your backup.

I'll have a go at it.

[Freckle1000 in reply to Freckle1000]

No success with adding a link. Thanks for providing one.

[PMRpro in reply to Freckle1000]

No - just say the link is below, you don't need to bother with the link itself,

The example they give at the end of the press release (explaining how regulatory T cells (T-regs) production might be improved to help Lupus sufferers) of a student who has Lupus is very good also.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi 🙂Yes - you're absolutely right. I've only ever had a small amount of contact with Vu via Facebook thingi's but she runs it really well and is good at making a supportive space. She's constantly wrangling people for social meet up' s all over the state and just keeps soldiering on, chasing people up 🙃

Shes a lot like many people here. Pretty amazing.

I'm a bit mindfilul that she's representing Monash very strongly - but she's a force for good.

this is great new. Seems there are a few trials going on right now so fingers are firmly crossed these trials come to fruition over the coming years.

[Freckle1000]

You're right . There are a lot of these types of trials going on. Sorta hoping with all these new breakthroughs in technology and better understanding of the immune system that a cure might actually become a reality.........soon ?.......praps?

But it is hard to put these breakthroughs into context due to the shiny new boible / tech delusion effect.

- gotta hope one of them are close though.

The role of IL-35 in SLE (2024 study):

“Highlights-

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an auto-inflammatory disease that is characterized by chronic and widespread inflammation.

IL-35, the newest member of the IL-12 family, is an immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory cytokine secreted mainly by regulatory cells. IL-35 appears to hold therapeutic and diagnostic potential in cancer and autoimmune diseases.

IL-35 can consider as a preferential therapeutic or diagnostic candidate in SLE management.”

Hi Suvi - Sorry - a bit slow off the mark here. 🙃🙂

All I can say is ' Wow ' and thank you so much for posting all these research articles. It's reassuring to know a lot of people are working on a cure.

I've got a lot of reading to do.
