How Lupus (SLE) is treated

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, particularly affecting joints, skin, kidneys, and the nervous system. The condition arises when B cells and T cells lose tolerance to self-antigens, producing damaging antibodies and inflammatory cytokines. Placental mesenchymal stem cells show promise because they release immunomodulatory factors—interleukins, soluble HLA-G, and exosomes containing regulatory microRNAs—that rebalance Th17 and regulatory T-cell populations. Early-stage clinical research (47 registered trials, 6 currently recruiting) suggests this approach may reduce disease activity scores and improve organ function in selected patients, though long-term remission rates remain under investigation. It is delivered under a physician-led protocol and designed to complement your existing care.

Evidence: Trials report reduced disease activity in refractory lupus subgroups. (peer-reviewed trials). Offered as an individualised programme, not a guaranteed cure.
