New Immune Cell Suspects in Lupus
November 24, 2025
Detailed mapping of CD4⁺ T cells from children with systemic lupus erythematosus has revealed distinct immune cell subsets with likely roles in disease pathogenesis, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Unique Immune Response in Lupus Paves Way for New Treatment
October 15, 2024
Immune cells called monocytes produce a key inflammatory protein called interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) through an unconventional pathway in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly referred to as lupus, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
NIH Grant Funds Lupus Research in Children
October 21, 2022
