Groundbreaking Discovery in Lupus Research Reveals Potential Cure
Groundbreaking discovery in lupus research reveals a molecular defect driving the pathologic immune response in systemic lupus erythematosus. Reversing this defect could potentially lead to a cure for the disease, offering hope for over 1.5 million affected individuals in the US. Current treatments for lupus fall short, but researchers have identified a specific cause that may mitigate side effects associated with existing therapies. By targeting key mediators, the team aims to suppress the autoimmune response imbalance in lupus patients, unveiling a novel pathway for potential future treatments.
Dengue Fever Cases Reported in Austin and Travis County
Austin and Travis County have reported five cases of dengue fever this summer, a mosquito-borne illness not commonly associated with the area. Health officials are urging vigilance against dengue fever, with an increasing number of cases reported globally and in the United States. Dengue fever is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which also carry Zika and Chikungunya. Despite the presence of Aedes mosquitoes in Texas, the state typically does not have malaria-carrying mosquito species. All five cases in Travis County have been linked to travel to endemic regions, with health officials conducting thorough investigations to rule out local transmissions. Preventive measures against mosquito-borne illnesses are crucial to safeguard public health.
