Sex-Differences in Achilles Tendon Properties May Explain Why Ruptures Occur More Often in Men
A new study in rats has revealed differences between males and females in the physical properties of the Achilles tendon. The results may explain why the incidence of ruptures is about five times higher in men than women.
Engineered T Cells Alleviate Autoimmune Skin Disease in Mice
A new study has shown that engineered T cells can destroy antibody-producing cells that underlie a rare autoimmune disorder of the skin. The findings offer a new strategy for treating the disease, pemphigus vulgaris, and possibly certain other autoimmune conditions as well.
