Recently, Australian researchers have created a remedy for a lupus defect. An autoimmune condition called lupus causes inflammation in the skin, joints, blood, and vital organs like the heart and kidneys by stimulating the immune system to attack organs and tissues. Though its exact cause is unknown, a combination of environmental, hormonal, and genetic factors are thought to be responsible. Women are primarily affected by lupus. Variants include Discoid lupus, Subacute cutaneous lupus, drug-induced lupus, Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and a rare form of lupus induced by maternal antibodies in neonates.
