Research by @HuntLabEdin & @DrMcglasson (UK DRI at Edinburgh) sheds light on the mechanisms behind RVCL-S, a rare genetic disorder that affects small blood vessels.
The study identifies an important therapeutic target👉 buff.ly/QwmdOV5

📣Excited to share our latest study showing:
🎯IFN-α2 levels differentiate between T2T states in cSLE
🎯Elevated IFN-α2 predictive of flare when in target
⁉️potential for biomarker-driven cSLE T2T trials

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare disease that can trigger #dementia in children.
Previous Emerging Leaders Prize winner @HuntLabEdin recently co-led a study, funded in part by @MedResFdn, that could lead to new treatments for this condition.

Promising pathway discovered to treat rare childhood brain disease
A study co-led by @Sydney_Uni + @CPC_usyd Assoc Prof Markus Hofer + Prof @HuntLabEdin reveals fresh insight into the mechanisms underlying a rare disease that can cause childhood dementia Aicardi-Goutières syndrome.
The research, featured on the front cover of the journal Immunity @CellPressNews, could lead to urgently needed new therapeutic targets for the condition.

Delighted that our work on interferon-alpha driven brain disease has made the front cover of @ImmunityCP after many years of work with brilliant collaborators in Australia, France and US. Short summary of paper to follow.
This month's beautiful cover depicts work from Hofer, @HuntLabEdin, Viengkhou &co showing that in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, neurotoxic IFNα originates in the CNS & mediates disease primarily through its effects on the cerebral microvasculature. Image by Ben Gartland, Grant Foster, and Holly Philip.
