Findings published in the July edition of the prestigious Journal of Experimental Medicine may offer new hope to people suffering from a previously unsuspected form of lupus. The research, undertaken by Garvan's Professor Fabienne Mackay, suggests a form of the disease that does not respond to current treatments. If proven to be correct, her findings will change clinical thinking and so bring about changes in patient management and in clinical trial protocols.
