Are you ready to dive deep into the complex world of autoimmune diseases? In our latest blog post series, we will be introducing some exciting new content that will explore everything you need to know about these conditions.

What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its tissues and organs. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms and potentially serious health consequences. From rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, there are over 80 different types of autoimmune diseases, each with its own unique challenges.

Why is it Important to Understand Autoimmune Diseases?

Understanding autoimmune diseases is crucial for both individuals living with these conditions and healthcare professionals. By gaining insight into the underlying causes, symptoms, and treatment options for autoimmune diseases, we can work towards better managing and potentially curing these diseases in the future.

Are you unfamiliar with autoimmune diseases and how they can affect your health and well-being? In this article, we will explore the common types of autoimmune diseases, their symptoms, causes, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and tips for self-care and management. By the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of autoimmune diseases and how to take control of your health. Alright, let's dive into the world of autoimmune diseases! What are autoimmune diseases? The immune system is a huge network of cells and proteins that protects us against harmful viruses and bacteria that can make us ill. Basically, an autoimmune disease is when your immune system gets all confused and starts attacking your own body's healthy cells instead of harmful cells. It's like your immune system is having a major identity crisis! Types of autoimmune diseases This can lead to a range of conditions each affecting different parts of the body. There are over 80 known autoimmune di...

A Simple Guide To Circulating Nucleic Acids: What Are They And Why Are They Important?

  Welcome to another post on liquid biopsy ! Today we are going to look at circulating nucleic acids. We all have heard of nucleic acids at some point in our life. Nucleic acids contain genetic instructions that make an organism grow and develop. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are the main classes of nucleic acids. They are present in all cells of an organism. Then what are circulating nucleic acids??? Sometimes the cells release these nucleic acids into the blood or other body fluids. Since blood is more commonly studied, when we talk about “circulation“, we are mostly talking about blood, unless it is mentioned otherwise. Because these nucleic acids are present in the blood circulation, they are called circulating nucleic acids . Because these nucleic acids are present outside the cell, they are also called cell-free nucleic acids , like cell-free DNA or cell-free RNA.  In 1948, Mandel and Mattais reported for the first time that nucleic acids are pre...

Mutations in cell-free DNA - Applications in Cancer

Hi readers! In today’s post, we will look at mutations that can be detected in cell-free DNA. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can happen due to environmental factors or when DNA is copied. With respect to mutations in cell-free DNA, research has been done primarily in cancer. In cancer, such changes occur in genes that play a role in cell growth and death. During the course of tumor development, a tumor accumulates several mutations. These mutations can be detected in cell-free DNA and this indicates that the cfDNA was released by the tumor. For example, suppose that we isolated cell-free DNA from a breast cancer patient Z and analyzed it for mutations in the PIK3CA gene. PIK3CA gene plays an important role in mediating pathways responsible for growth and survival of the cell. It is the most commonly mutated gene in breast cancer patients, mutations being detected in about 1/3rd of cases. Now, say that Z has a mutation in PIK3CA gene. Now how can this information help u...
