Washington, Dec 14: A research has discovered a new and powerful molecular switch that manages the inflammatory response of the immune system, and may also lead to the discovery of a treatment for lupus.

The findings may be used to develop methods to shut down uncontrolled inflammation, restore immune system regulation, and treat chronic autoimmune disorders such as lupus.

The research was led by Greg Lemke, PhD, professor of Molecular Neurobiology at the Salk Institute and he was funded by the Lupus Research Institute (LRI).

By autoimmunity, it is meant that the immune system which is designed to repel outside invaders by mistake builds up an incontrollable destructive inflammatory attack against the body’s own tissues and organs.
