Scientists find a cause of lupus and a way to potentially reverse it

Researchers believe targeting a chemical imbalance could more effectively treat lupus without systemic immunosuppression interventions

Patients with lupus have an imbalance in a crucial chemical pathway in their bodies, according to a Nature study published on July 10.

Researchers found that this imbalance produces more disease-causing cells that promote lupus. If this chemical imbalance can be corrected, they believe lupus can be reversed.

Current lupus treatments often target symptoms or broadly suppress the immune system, leading to side effects. The researchers believe targeting the specific chemical imbalance identified could more effectively treat lupus without systemic immunosuppression interventions.

Lupus is a chroni...
