          Gray Hair Linked to Immune System and Viral Infection

          Researchers have identified a link between the immune system, viral infection and premature hair graying. The study reports mice who went prematurely gray produced unusually high amounts of MITF, a protein that is responsible for releasing interferons, which help to fight viral infections. This suggests genes responsible for controlling pigmentation also work to control the immune system.

          Lupus Pill Shows Promise in Mice; Clinical Trial Underway

          Afimetoran, a newly developed pill to treat lupus, not only prevents lupus-like symptoms in mice, it also reverses signs of organ damage caused by the disease and prevents death. The medication is now undergoing phase 2 clinical trials to assess its effectiveness in lupus patients.

          Men Hold Secret to Protect Women From Multiple Sclerosis

          A new PNAS study reveals why men are less likely to develop multiple sclerosis than women. According to researchers, a 'guardian molecule' that is triggered by testosterone appears to have a protective effect in men. When female mice were treated with the molecule, their symptoms of the disease were eliminated.

          Autoimmune Diseases in ALS Patients Linked to Genetic Mutation

          Study reveals why some people with ALS are prone to developing autoimmune diseases. A genetic mutation that decreases the expression of C9orf72 causes the stimulation of interferon genes (STING) protein to become hyperactive. The hyperactivity leads to increased production of interferons. This can lead to systemic inflammation and the development of autoimmune diseases.
