Aging dampens lupus by reducing overactive immune genes in older adults

by University of California, San Francisco edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Credit: CC0 Public Domain UCSF researchers have found that certain antiviral genes become less active over time in lupus, revealing why some patients see their symptoms fade as they age. Lupus, an autoimmune disease, causes the immune system’s first-line viral defenses—known as interferons—to attack […]
