“These results astounded us all. They provide a huge leap forward in our understanding of the evolution of MS and other autoimmune diseases. Showing how the lifestyles of our ancestors impacted modern disease risk just highlights how much we are the recipients of ancient immune systems in a modern world.”
Sure beats the crude cyclophosphamide approach to killing antibody-producing B cells that are undergoing mitosis – a protocol I applied back in my PhD times to select for monoclonal antibodies against specific tissues.
There is a second research study showing possible autoimmune curative treatment that avoids wide spread immuno suppression in patients.
The previous one was regarding a "reverse vaccine". Are there any rheumatologists or researchers on here that can explain these findings in layperson terms?
Possible associations of #COVID19 with #autoimmunediseases have been suggested, because #SARSCoV2 appears to perturb self-tolerance & trigger autoimmune reactions via cross-reactivity that may lead to the development of autoimmune diseases, Vaccinated at lower risk
Relative to controls, significantly higher risks of #alopeciaareata (aHR, 1.12), #alopeciatotalis (aHR, 1.74), antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (aHR, 2.76), #crohndisease (aHR, 1.68), #sarcoidosis (aHR, 1.59).
