Experimental lupus therapy could be ‘life-changing’ for patients with autoimmune disease, study findsAustralian researchers may have found a breakthrough treatment for lupus. In a study published in Nature Communications on Feb. 6, scientists at Monash University revealed that they were able to "fix" defective cells that can cause lupus, an autoimmune disease. An experimental therapy was able to "completely arrest" the development of lupus kidney disease without using potentially harmful immunosuppressant drugs, said researchers (not pictured).
