Biomedical Research Centre searches for immunological biomarkers

(King's College London) Persistent inflammation and the activation of the immune system is the key pathological mechanism affecting many long-term conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, and others.

A group of London-based researchers hope that they will be able to identify biomarkers in the tissue and blood, which in future could be used to diagnose these conditions, to predict how they will develop and how an individual will respond to treatment.
