Diseases Caused by Faulty Immune System Better Understood With Cell Study

The process in which a gene mutation can lead to diseases that occur when the immune system attacks the body by mistake, has been better understood by scientists. Understanding how these mechanisms work could help scientists to develop new treatments for autoimmune diseases such as Lupus and neurodegenerative conditions including Motor Neurone Disease. Researchers found that a mutation in the gene - called ADAR1 - causes a defect in an alarm system in ...
