Nightmares could be an early warning sign of an autoimmune disease flare-up - new study

Nightmares preceding autoimmune diseases, like lupus, may serve as warning signs of disease flare-ups.

Nature's Synergy: Vitamin D and Curcumin Piperine Offer New Hope for Lupus Patients

A natural combination therapy using curcumin-piperine and vitamin D may induce clinical remission in SLE patients.

Making Sense of the Connection Between Vaccines and Lupus Flares

Vaccines usually do not lead to severe flares in lupus patients; most individuals experience mild to moderate upticks in disease activity after vaccination.

Found: the dial in the brain that controls the immune system

Scientists have identified brainstem cells that regulate the body's inflammatory response, potentially leading to new treatments for autoimmune diseases and other conditions.

Scientists found a major clue why 4 of 5 autoimmune patients are women

Women are more likely to suffer from autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis due to a molecule called Xist.
Xist is found only in women and inactivates one of the X chromosomes, leading to a chemical response linked to autoimmune diseases.

Lupus and Other Autoimmune Diseases Strike Far More Women Than Men. Now There's a Clue Why

Women are more likely than men to get autoimmune diseases due to how the body handles females' extra X chromosome.
The X chromosome is involved in the development of autoimmune diseases in an unexpected way, which could lead to better detection and treatment methods.

Why Are Women More Prone To Autoimmune Diseases? This Chromosome Could Hold the Secret

The X chromosome may be a risk factor for autoimmune diseases.
X chromosome inactivation may lead to the body creating antibodies that contribute to autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmunity Has Reached Epidemic Levels. We Need Urgent Action to Address It

Autoimmune diseases affect more than 100 lifelong and costly illnesses.
There is an urgent need to understand and find effective ways to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure autoimmune diseases.

Is Novavax, the latecomer COVID vaccine, worth the wait?

People with autoimmune diseases like arthritis are seeking out the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine due to potential side effects from mRNA vaccines.
Data suggests that people who received the Novavax vaccine had fewer temporary reactions compared to those who got mRNA boosters.
Biologists are also interested in Novavax due to its unique technology.
