Leonard H. Calabrese, DO - Rheumatology, Immunology, and Immuno-Oncology Intersect: Navigating the Complexities of Immune Checkpoint Inhibition, Autoimmunity, and Immune-Related Adverse Events: How Can Rheumatologists Help Minimize the Risks and Maximize the Benefits of Cancer Immunotherapies?
Go online to PeerView.com/GQF860 to view the entire program with slides.In this video panel discussion, Leonard H. Calabrese, DO, and Evan J. Lipson, MD, engage in an interdisciplinary discussion of why it is important for rheumatologists to have a good grasp of immuno-oncology (IO) in general and of the unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with cancer immunotherapies in particular. They explore the new class of immune checkpoint inhibitors, how they work, in which cancer types they’re used, why and how irAEs develop, and which rheumatic irAEs can occur as part of the broad spectrum of potential irAEs....

"Absorbing News" -- The Discovery Files
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed "nanosponges" that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Injections of these nanosponges effectively treated severe rheumatoid arthritis in two mouse models, and administering the nanosponges early on prevented the disease from developing.
