Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
Gene linked to Lupus
Lupus :: Gene linked to Lupus
Lupus occurs when the immune system misfires and attacks the body's organs and tissues. Nobody knows exactly why this happens, but a new study points to one possible cause.TREX1 is thought to chop up DNA in dying cells. If this clean-up process fails, the body may launch an immune attack on its own DNA, resulting in a disease like lupus.
In addition to suggesting a possible cause of lupus, the research may open up new treatment strategies.
