Immunomodulators

Ensho, 1988
A new era is emerging in the therapy of rheumatic disease involving the use of biologically based immunomodulators. Cytokines, such as the interleukins and interferons, are proteins produced by activated lymphoid cells which can now be synthesised by genetic engineering techniques. These agents have already been used to correct "immune deficiencies" in

Movement Disorders in Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome and Response to Immunomodulation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study characterizes movement disorders and treatment responses in seven children with Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively evaluated motor phenotypes, neuroimaging, and interferon signatures in patients treated with baricitinib or anifrolumab. Spasticity affected all patients, while dystonia was present in 4/7.

Helminth driven gut inflammation and microbial translocation associate with altered vaccine responses in rural Uganda

npj Vaccines
Vaccine responses are sometimes impaired in rural, low-income settings. Helminth-associated gut barrier dysfunction and microbial translocation (MT) may be implicated. We used samples from a trial of praziquantel treatment-effects on vaccine responses in
