ENDOMIX’s Post

Is it possible to stop “Addison's disease” and other autoimmune diseases? That is the hope of Olle Kämpe, who is a clinical researcher at Karolinska Institutet. It is not known what initiates an auto immune reaction, just that it starts several years before the patients come to clinical care. Kämpe and his group has discovered that the immune system in all patients with Addison's disease reacted to the very same substance – the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. Kämpe and this team are working on a promising treatment for patients with Addison's. You’ll meet Olle Kämpe and his patient Eva Raffner. #research #medicine #addisondisease #autoimmunediseases #immunology Karolinska Institutet Olle Kämpe

Another successful Lunch & Learn session is complete! This time, we explored #Myositis and #Systemic #Sclerosis, focussing on the key aspects of these diseases and the latest #diagnostic tools offered by EUROIMMUN.

Today is #Immunology Day. This annual day of action is intended to draw attention to the impressive capabilities of our immune system & show how important immunological research is, e.g. to better understand lung diseases and derive therapies from them @FZBorstel #dayofimmunology

A PolyBio-supported study in collaboration with the Long-Term Impact of Infection with Novel Coronavirus (LIINC) team out of UCSF found a key difference in immune cell function between Long COVID patients and Controls. Researchers found that the percentage of cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cells, crucial immune cells responsible for clearing virus-infected cells, was notably reduced in people with long COVID compared to those who had fully recovered from COVID-19.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impacts ~391 million people worldwide. There are many disease mechanisms involved in COPD, meaning each individual patient is different. For that reason, we are exploring multiple disease pathways to drive innovation, working to ensure the right care options are available to the right patients, at the right time.

Our April cover shows a subpopulation of monocytes characterised by SIGLEC-1 expression. In this issue, Guo, Guo and Zhu et al identify this novel cell type as pivotal for early diagnosis and disease activity assessment in #Type1Diabetes. #Immunology tinyurl.com/3myah96z

Many people with psoriasis experience that their disease activity is highly variable. This is in part why #psoriasis disease dynamics is so intriguing. Check out our new review article on the role of T Cells in different phases of psoriatic disease:

It's Hepatitis Awareness Week! Did you know that hepatitis poses a significant risk for older adults? Here are some important stats to keep in mind: 1. Older adults are at increased risk for chronic hepatitis B and C due to age-related immune changes and past medical procedures. 2. Hepatitis can lead to severe liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, especially in the elderly. 3. Many seniors are unaware they have hepatitis. Regular screening can lead to early detection and better outcomes. Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying informed and getting tested. #HepatitisAwarenessWeek #SeniorHealth #HappierAtHome
