Protective and Pathogenic B Cell Responses: COVID-19 and Autoimmunity
Dr. Sanz's research interest is in understanding how the immune system goes awry in autoimmune diseases and ends up attacking our own tissues rather than concentrating on fighting infections. In particular, he is very interested in understanding the roles played in autoimmune diseases by B cells and their effector progeny, the plasma cells responsible for producing the autoantibodies that in many cases cause the disease. His research concentrates on systemic lupus erythematosus, but he is also investigating other autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. His work also has app...

NIH HEAL Initiative Workshop on Myofascial Pain (Day 2)
It is estimated that 30 to 85 percent of patients with musculoskeletal pain are affected by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) — pain originating from muscles and/or associated soft tissues such as fascia. Interactions between fascia and muscles remain mostly unknown and there is a strong need to address the contributions of the myofascial tissues to chronic pain. This represents one of the last “ unturned stones ” of all the tissue types involved in musculoskeletal pain. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering are proud to join forc...

Subset Analysis in Clinical Studies Roundtable
Most clinical trials funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) use traditional randomized clinical trial designs, which measure the difference in average outcome between participants assigned to one intervention or another. However, it would be more clinically useful to understand who, within the relevant population, would likely benefit more from (or be harmed by) either intervention. At this 2020 roundtable, participants will explore topics including subset analysis in randomized clinical trials, subset analysis in observational studies, and ways to establish a sustainabl...

2019 Demystifying Medicine Lecture- Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges
Please join us for the next Demystifying Medicine lecture, " Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges, " by Ronald Germain, M.D., Ph.D. (NIAID) and James Katz, M.D. (NIAMS) on April 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Building 50 conference room, first floor. CME credit is available.
Autoimmunity refers to a system of immune responses gone awry, tantamount to an attack against the body's own healthy cells and tissues with painful and often fatal consequences. This enemy within manifests itself in myriad ways, from targeted attacks (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis leading to debilitating joint damage) to multi...
