Potential role of monocytes in lupus nephritis - Anne Davidson, MBBS

In this seminar, Anne Davidson, MBBS., focuses on lupus nephritis (LN), which develops in up to 50% of patients with SLE and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Intrarenal monocyte infiltration in LN is strongly associated with kidney fibrosis, injury, and function. In this lecture, Dr. Davidson describes new studies that characterize renal myeloid cell subsets in patients and in mouse models of lupus as well as approaches to studying their function in vitro and in vivo.
Anne Davidson, MBBS shared her research as part of the Tremblay-Jacobs Symposium on Human Autoimmunity: Novel Approaches,” hosted at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) on January 30, 2024. The Tremblay-Jacobs Symposium is the brainchild of LJI Board Director (2018-2024) Geneviève Tremblay Jacobs, a philanthropist committed to advancing autoimmune disease research. This annual gathering provides a unique forum to explore the latest findings on the causes and treatment options for autoimmune diseases while fostering the development of potential collaborations, and ultimately accelerating treatments for patients.
Presented at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI).
