Scientists Find a Natural Protein That Stops Allergies And Autoimmune Conditions

Scientists Find a Natural Protein That Stops Allergies And Autoimmune Conditions 11 MARCH 2021 For the millions of us plagued by hypersensitive, overactive, or downright abusive immune systems, it can feel like you're constantly fighting your own physical self. From incessant allergies to life-threatening anaphylaxis and debilitating autoimmune disease, the system that's supposed to be protecting us can be problematic when it goes wrong. Now, we might be closer to fixing these issues in an entirely new way.   Using transgenic mice and cultures of cells taken from human tonsils, researchers have now found evidence of how our bodies might defend against the mistakes that result in conditions such as asthma, food allergies, and lupus. They found a protein called neuritin, produced by immune cells. It acts a bit like an inbuilt, boss-level antihistamine.

Canberra researchers at the Australian National University find a protein that could stop allergic reactions and anaphylaxis ThuThursday 11 updated FriFriday 12 MarMarch 2021 at 3:52am Dr Paula Gonzalez Figueroa spent years working off a guess that neuritin had a regulatory function in stopping allergies and autoimmunity. ( Share Print text only Cancel Thousands of people live with allergies and autoimmune diseases, and that number is only rising, for reasons that are not entirely clear to medical researchers. Key points: It has the potential to tackle numerous conditions, including autoimmune diseases and asthma The researchers hope to develop better treatments than EpiPens or ventolin

Jubilant Therapeutics Announces Research Collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, to Evaluate PAD4 Inhibitors in Autoimmune/Inflammation Disease Models

(1) BEDMINSTER, N.J., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jubilant Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company advancing small molecule modulators to address unmet medical needs in oncology and autoimmune diseases, today announced a collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital (https://wistar.org/) to evaluate peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) inhibitors under development by Jubilant Therapeutics to explore the modulation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETosis) in preclinical models of neutrophil regulation and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PAD4 is an enzyme that converts arginine to citrulline in histones and is highly expressed in neutrophils. Histone citrullination has been implicated in the formation of NETs which is believed to contribute to pro-inflammation and disease progression in many autoimmune disorders including RA, fibrosis, lupus and ARDS.

Eli lilly to pay up to $960 million for Rigel's autoimmune disease therapy

Rigel will receive an upfront cash payment of $125 million, with the potential for an additional up to $835 million in milestone payments. R552 belongs to a class of drugs called RIPK1 inhibitors which target a critical signaling protein that regulates inflammation and cell death in tissues. It is a new approach to treat various autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Boston COVID-19 Patient May Provide Clues to Variants Origins

The case, detailed in The New England Journal of Medicine, has drawn the attention of professionals researching the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. They believe it may lead to the origin of the variants of the disease that have emerged, such as those from South Africa and Britain, New York Fox network affiliate WNYW said on its website.

Mom's Autoimmune Disease Linked to Child's ADHD

Conditions Feb 2, 2021 03:41 PM By Sabrina Emms A new study links autoimmune disease in an expectant mother with the increased chance of her child having ADHD. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Parents pass all kinds of things down to their kids -  red hair, bad eyesight, maybe even a taste for spicy food. Sometimes, the health conditions of a parent can make an impact on the child. This is the case with autoimmune disorders in mothers, and ADHD in their children. New research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, explored the connection.  Typically, when we think of parents passing things down, it is because of genetics, like blood type, where the child's blood type is a combination of the parents'. That’s not what researchers think is going on with the autoimmunity/ADHD connection. Genetics does play a role, but new research points to the time a fetus spends inside its mother as a contributing factor.
