A COMPELLING NEW LUPUS DISCOVERY WITH JAEHYUK CHOI, MD, PHD

Northwestern Medicine physician-scientist Jaehyuk Choi, MD, PhD, joins the show again to discuss another breakthrough in T-cell research. This time for lupus, a chronic autoimmune condition affecting 300,000 Americans that can cause inflammation in many body parts, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Findings by Choi and his Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine lab members not only elucidate the underlying mechanisms of lupus but also suggest potential therapeutic strategies.
