Recently, a new study has identified that a mutation of a protein called TNIP1 may be responsible for chronic autoimmune diseases like Sjogren's and more severe diseases like lupus.

A new study, published by the journal RMD Open, found that the chance of developing cognitive impairment is increased in people with RA.

Although Long COVID continues to be a mystery, we are slowly beginning to understand more about the disease as new research has identified antibodies associated with Long COVID symptoms.

While studying a 67-year-old woman with symptoms of unsteadiness (ataxia), tremors, and difficulty speaking, researchers identified an autoantibody that causes B12 deficiency in the brain and results in neurological symptoms.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, University College London, and Imperial College London have identified a new biological pathway critical in driving inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other related conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
