C1q and immunoglobulins mediate activity-dependent synapse loss in the adult brain
INTRODUCTION
Synaptic elimination is a fundamental process that can engage microglia and the classical complement cascade, yet the mechanisms that specify which synapses are targeted by complement component 1q...
Teclistamab for treatment-refractory autoimmune diseases: a multicentre case series
ABSTRACT
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of teclistamab, a T cell–redirecting bispecific antibody targeting B-cell maturation antigen, in a case series of severe autoimmune...
Abstract:
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and debilitating disease characterized by post-exertional malaise, fatigue and pain. Yet, its underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles carrying...
Defective B cell tolerance in SLE lymph nodes underpins VH4-34 "clonal damnation" and PD-1+TOX+ autoreactive B cells expansion.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease driven by uncensored B and T cell autoreactivity. Understanding this pathogenic process has been...
It seems as though Dr. Habets has successfully treated an ME patient with low doses teclistamab. Much more cost effective than daratumumab apparently (< 1000€ per treatment course). This is the German maverick oncologist that's also treated ME patients successfully with daratumumab in the past...
Highlights
76 bacterial species of 15 genera across healthy, COVID-19-positive, and recovered individuals
Higher abundance of opportunistic intracellular bacteria in recovered group
Higher microbial abundance within antigen-presenting cells of COVID-19 patients
Differential microbial abundance...
I've just come across a patent from Fluge and Mella which looks like it was updated/published in March 2021 entitled 'Method for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome using an inhibitory or cytotoxic agent against plasma cells'.
The description of the patent is a long read...
