At the Rheumatology Research Institute that bears his name. Professor Evgeniy Nasonov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told socialbites.ca that Nasonova developed cellular technologies for the treatment of arthritis, is the scientific director of the institute and the head of the All-Russian public organization “Russian Union of Rheumatologists”. .
“This is called regenerative medicine. This is mesenchymal stem cell therapy. Another method is to isolate the patient’s own cells, activate the FOXP3+ protein, and then introduce them into the patient’s body. This way we can restore immune tolerance and suppress inflammation,” Nasonov said.
FOXP3+ is a protein involved in the immune responses of T-regulatory cells that control uncontrolled inflammation. When the function of this protein is weakened, preconditions are created for immune system cells to destroy their own tissues.
“However, I emphasize that this is still an early stage of testing, so it is too early to recommend this method for clinical practice,” the expert said.
