Hello to Everyone:

 

I subscribe at no cost to a website, www.medicalnewstoday.com to receive the

Latest News about various diseases/conditions of my own choosing.  Today there

were three interesting articles relating to inflammatory response (Arthritis &

Rheumatology, Lupus, etc.)

 

The third article, " Discovery Of A Key Protein Regulator of Inflammation and

Cell Death " , eludes to infection as a root cause of inflammatory

conditions... " Researchers have long sought this elusive protein that senses the

presence of DNA in the cytoplasm, which is associated with pathogenic INFECTION

or the escape of undigested self-DNA into the cytoplasM...we not only identified

the key protein in this process, but also discovered how this protein reacts to

DNA and causes inflammation " .  This protein is involved in the detection and

reactions to dangerous cytoplasmic DNA that is produced by infection with viral

or microbial pathogens. "   Sounds like this may be applicable to infection by

mycoplasma or Lyme disease.

 

The first two articles address scientists discovering an abnormality in one

patient's immune system that may lead to safer treatments for 'autoimmune'

diseases such as R/A.  She produces antibodies that PREVENT infection-fighting T

cells from moving through her blood stream and entering her body's organs TO

ATTACK invaders such as bacteria or viruses.  This discovery may explain why A/P

works on only 75-80% of people who try it.

 

Go to www.medicalnewstoday.com.  On the left you will see " New Category Menu " .

Click on the topic 'Arthritis/Rheumatology NewS' and check out these articles. 

They are very medically and technically oriented but I feel the gist of each

article is presented in layman's terms.  I recommend you register to get the

Latest News for whatever condition ails you.  These articles come from research

being done worldwide.

 

All the best,
