SUMMARY:Natural Killer (NK) Cells in Myositis: Emerging Science and Therapeutic Potential
DESCRIPTION:What if a powerful part of your immune system could hold new clues to understanding — and potentially treating — myositis? \n  \nNatural Killer (NK) cells are a specialized type of immune cell designed to recognize and eliminate harmful or abnormal cells in the body. Researchers are now studying how NK cells behave in myositis — whether they contribute to muscle inflammation\, help regulate immune responses\, or could become a target for future therapies. \nJoin us for an in-depth look at the latest research on NK cells in myositis\, what scientists are discovering\, and what these findings may mean for people living with myositis. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been navigating myositis for years\, speakers Lisa Christopher-Stine\, MD\, MHS and Shawn Rose\, MD\, PhD will help you better understand this emerging area of science and where it may lead. Thank you to webinar sponsor Nkarta. \nRegister Here
