Researchers from University of Medicine and Pharmacy Publish New Studies and Findings in the Area of Relapsing Polychondritis (Autoimmunity and Autoinflammation: Relapsing Polychondritis and VEXAS Syndrome Challenge).

A recent study published by researchers from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Iasi, Romania, explores the topic of relapsing polychondritis, a chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition that affects cartilaginous structures. The study highlights the complex pathogenesis of the disease, involving genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and immune system dysregulation. The research also discusses the role of autoantibodies and various immune cells in the development and perpetuation of the disease. Additionally, the study mentions the similarities between relapsing polychondritis and VEXAS syndrome, another systemic autoimmune disease. The management of both conditions involves immunosuppressive therapies. [Extracted from the article]
