How is science unraveling the mysteries of autoimmune diseases? Rheumatologist Andrew Chan, M.D., Ph.D., a former HHMI investigator at the Washington University School of Medicine, discusses advances in understanding and treating rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic and debilitating disease. After describing past and present treatments for the disease, Chan looks to the future and explains how current research in understanding the immune system is leading to new drug therapies. The lecture, videotaped at HHMI headquarters, is indexed by content. An animation on the proliferation of the T cell, slides, and questions from a studio audience enhance the talk. The animation with background information and detailed text is also available at this website.
