CAR T-cell therapy drives long-term remission in 8 SLE patients
Treatment often entails the use of
immunosuppressants
that keep the immune system in check, but not everyone responds to these medications. In 2022, Schett’s team treated five people with SLE with a CAR T-cell therapy after other medications had failed to ease their lupus symptoms.

Hi - If you take Belatacept/Nulojix, do you take any other

update
Seen rheumatologist yesterday, he doesn’t believe it’s GCA but had bloods taken and arranged an urgent MRI brain just for reassurance due to previous bleed in 2016. He wants me to stay on 15mg prednisone for another 2 weeks then do staggering one day 15 next day 10 for 2 weeks then down to 10 again.

Taking Prolia with Rusolitinib (Jakafi)
I have been taking Jakafi (15 mg) twice a day for the last 3 years for my polycythemia vera. I also take blood thinners for my thrombocytosis since I have had blood clots in my lungs twice in the last 2 years. I have had osteoporosis for a while, but my T scores from bone density test are really

Advice needed
Hi everyone - after a bit of advice from the collective brain :) We are incredibly lucky enough to have a little boy from our 6th transfer in 2021, and had 5 frozen embryos at the clinic should we decide to try for a sibling. We've now done 2 FETs with exactly the same protocol (steroids / intralipids

Ranolazine (used for angina) could potentially be repurposed for PCa. Only mouse studies so far.

This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure. It is also used to prevention immune system rejection of organ

CCR6 & CCL20 are the key drivers in prostate tumor microenvironment.
This is a very good Feb 2023 article but it’s best to scroll down to get out of the weeds to the crux of the biscuit. The crux of this biscuit is a well known inflammatory cytokine CCL20 and it’s receptor CCR6. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36325-2

Immune suppression caused by Urso
Hi all, I only recently learned that Urso has suppressive effects on the immune system. One research paper I read, and there are others, lists the effects - apologies for scientific jargon! Urso suppresses the production of immunoglobulins IgA, IgG and IgM (although IgM is generally chronically raised
