The “Sjögren’s protein score,” a newly identified blood protein signature of Sjögren’s disease, may help doctors measure inflammation inside the salivary glands without the need for a biopsy, a new study suggests. Results from the blood test, based on a group of 16 immune-related proteins, reflected local glandular…
A computer-based gene activity analysis combined with artificial intelligence (AI) methods has identified a dozen potential biomarkers that may ultimately help clinicians in reaching a Sjögren’s disease diagnosis more quickly, according to researchers in China. Their study found that activity levels of these new biomarkers were significantly associated with…
Stellular Bio has raised early-stage investment to advance its treatment candidate, STLR-201, into clinical testing as a potential off-the-shelf therapeutic option for dry eye caused by Sjögren’s disease. Part of a therapy class called platelet-derived regenerative biologics (PRBs), STLR-201 is derived from stem cells that can produce platelets,…
A new publicly available artificial intelligence (AI) tool that analyzes results from routine laboratory blood tests may improve the diagnosis of Sjögren’s disease, according to a multicenter study in China. The AI system, called Sjogren Multi-criterion Feature Integration Framework (SMFIF), distinguished people with Sjögren’s from those with Sjögren’s-like…
