DNA, the blueprint of life, is constantly damaged by the UV rays, chemicals, and even the natural course of living. Yet, when our body's repair mechanisms falter, the consequences can be profound – heightening disease risks and hastening the aging process. Jan Hoeijmakers and his team at Erasmus MC have spent decades deciphering the intricate dance between #DNA repair and aging. In the ERC-funded project Dam2Age, they examine how DNA repair defects not only elevate cancer vulnerability but also accelerate aging. Through innovative interventions like calorie restriction, Hoeijmakers unveils a potential avenue for delaying aging and mitigating disease risks.

Innovative Lyme Disease Treatment Enters Human Safety Trials This spring marks the commencement of a significant milestone in Lyme disease treatment as Professor Kim Lewis's team at Northeastern University progresses to human safety trials for a novel antibiotic, hygromycin A, in Australia. This groundbreaking research follows successful outcomes in animal studies, where hygromycin A demonstrated no toxicity and effectively cleared Lyme disease in mice. The anticipation builds as the medical and scientific communities await results by fall, hoping for positive outcomes that could revolutionize Lyme disease treatment. "Hopefully, the results will be positive," comments Lewis, University Distinguished Professor of Biology, reflecting the optimism surrounding this promising therapeutic agent. The success of these trials could pave the way for a new standard in Lyme disease treatment, underscoring the importance of innovation and persistence in medical research. #LymeDisease #MedicalInnovation #PublicHealth #NortheasternUniversity #ResearchAndDevelopment #HygromycinA

The 4th International Symposium on Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Rheumatic Diseases will convene virtually on January 12-14. Intended for scientists and clinicians who focus on rheumatic diseases like #scleroderma, this meeting aims to draw attention to #ILD and share recent progress by the world's top researchers and clinicians. We're pleased to share that CONQUEST, the SRF-driven platform clinical trial, will be featured in this event. The goal of CONQUEST is to rapidly evaluate potential treatments for scleroderma-associated ILD. Dr. Dinesh Khanna of the University of Michigan (pictured right) and Dr. Toby Maher of Keck School of Medicine (pictured left), the co-chairs of the CONQUEST steering committee, will share a presentation that discusses this groundbreaking clinical trial. Through CONQUEST, the SRF is spurring vital therapeutic innovation. In short, it's a game-changer. We are so grateful for the opportunity to share this work with the greater scientific and medical community—collaboration is essential to making progress. ➡️ Learn more & register for the symposium: https://lnkd.in/gAhFadTn ➡️ Learn more about CONQUEST: https://lnkd.in/gex9KYwq #sclerodermaresearch #srfcure #conquest #sayscleroderma

A huge honor being part of the 7th edition of the fabulous and reknown “Rose and Mackay Textbook of Autoimmune Diseases” edited by Eric Gershwin George Tsokos and Betty Diamond. We are delighted and very thankful being invited by the editors ! Together with Daniel Prof. Dr. med Franzen, MD, MHBA, FCCP and Jakob Nilsson it was an immense pleasure to write the chapter on sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease, characterised by granuloma formation. No need to say but what is the Rose and Mackay Textbook of Autoimmune Diseases famous for? “a valuable resource to clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune disease, as well as to scientists who want to follow developments in the field.” “comprehensive reference that emphasizes the "3 P’s" of 21st Century medicine: precision, prediction, and prevention” Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/d785d6pQ Together we also wrote a comprehensive review on the topic published in Swiss Medical Weekly, found here: https://lnkd.in/dUvQnbR2 #autoimmunity #immuneregulation #precisionmedicine #preventivemedicine

We are now on PubMed with our new article titled: Advancing Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Diagnosis through High-Speed Video Microscopy Analysis. In this study, we implemented high-speed microscopy technique for analyzing respiratory cilia movement for the first time on the island to diagnose and characterize the RSPH4A founder mutation in Puerto Rican patients with PCD. Our results show a new diagnostic marker, significantly improving disease evaluation and management. A step forward to improve the diagnosis of PCD in Puerto Rico! 💪🏽🌟 Thank you to all the patients who participated and co-investigators who helped achieve this publication.
